Don Bosco Museum

About this place

One of the best museums in Shillong, Don Bosco Museum showcases the rich cultures of Northeast India—traditional clothing, lifestyle galleries, crafts, music, and community histories across multiple floors. Even if you’re not a “museum person,” the design and storytelling make it engaging, and it’s a top place to understand the region beyond sightseeing spots.

History & highlights

The museum is part of the Don Bosco Centre for Indigenous Cultures (DBCIC), developed as a cultural-preservation and education initiative led by the Salesians. It became accessible to the public in the 2000s, and the institution has continued expanding its role as a major heritage space for Northeast cultures.
