The one-of-its-kind museum in the State offers a sneak peek into the lives of Gond, Koya, Yerukala, Lambaba, Andh, Kolam, Chenchus, Konda Reddis and Thoti tribes and brings together their culture, food, lifestyle and beliefs and provides detailed information about the tribes in Telangana.

Established in 2003, the tribal museum for long was in a neglected state with little prominence given to the tribal culture of Telangana. After the State bifurcation, officials realized that the museum hosted 70 percent of the presentations from the AP with Telangana tribal traditions and heritage getting just about 30 percent of space. This prompted Tribal Welfare Department to write a letter to the Centre to release funds for revamping the museum. Sprawling in three floors over 20,000 sqft, the revamp works began in 2017.
