Anthropological Museum at Andaman and Nicobar Islands - 131

The museum depicts the life of the palaeolithic islanders and also houses the models of the aboriginal tools.

Guys, Port Blair is the entry point for both air and sea travelers. Indian Airlines has thrice-weekly flights from Calcutta and Madras plus flights from New Delhi via Bhubaneswar. While the tribal islands are strictly protected, the small but interesting Anthropological Museum (closed on Saturdays) has a collection of old photographs, models and tools which give some idea of their 'primitive' way of life. The population of the town includes migrants from all parts of India, with Burmese and Bengalis predominating.

Apart from the gaol and the museum, the natural beauty of the islands coupled with the extraordinary range of birds, flowers and marine life and the relics of colonial history make a visit rewarding.

You can visit here from 09.30 am to 04.00 pm except on Mondays and Public Holidays.
