Huge 7 floors museum with skywalk at the top. Keep enough time in hand if interested in going through all that history and culture of north. It is well maintained and organized. Closes at 5.30 PM. more »

It is a nice place but according to me the children will enjoy it the most. Here you can get a brief description about the north east Indian culture. But the most attractive feature of the place is it's sky walk. From here you can see the beautiful landscape of the Shillong town which will surely make you speechless. Current ticket cost = Rs. 💯

My BIL used to work here to control all the computer systems so I had a great privilege to gaze through the whole of the displays from bottom to the top. But it is strictly prohibited in some places I think. So I didn't misuse my freedom to enter there. I was amazed to see 7 different cultures of the 7 "sisters" of the North East.

A place to learn about North East India and Saint Don Bosco. The rooftop view is an extra thrill to the expedition. But the place is expensive. With tickets more than Rs 100 and parking fee around Rs 500. I have seen better Museums though.

Great museum that encapsulates the history, tradition and culture of the seven sisters. A floor is dedicated for each state. Terrace walk is recommended. Toilets are good
