Museums in
Gujarat uphold National heritage and
promote international understanding.
Gujarat, a tourist region, is rich in
cultural treasures housed in splendid
Museums of the state. These exist about
fifty Museums of different categories
representing Art, Archaeology, Natural
History, Science and Technology.
Museum is a place where the cultural
heritage of our nation is preserved and
protected. One of the simplest ways of
becoming acquainted with the culture,
art, history and natural history of any
country is by visiting a museum. In
Gujarat, Museums, art galleries and
cultural institutions vary widely
ranging from those collections of
regional, national and international
importance to those comprising only one
or two rooms, small individual
exhibitions and so called “memorial
rooms”.
Museums are very important institutions
devoted to preservation of cultural
heritages as also tools for education
both Formal and non-Formal.
