Briefly describe the history of the museum, its collection and donors.
The People’s Museum in Kakching, Manipur, is a historical and ethnographic museum. It has accumulated nearly 1,200 rare manuscripts and scriptures belonging to the state. This includes much-sought-after sacred puyas or local religious texts.
The museum has a rich collection of artefacts belongings to the Stone Age. Its repository includes wood carvings, wooden seats, tools and weapons used for hunting, and ancient and medieval manuscripts, which reflect the complex nature of the culture and civilisation of the state. The collection of pottery, tribal headgear, and rings belonging to medieval life stand as proof of ethnic diversity of Manipur.
