Top 6 History Museums in Himachal Pradesh, India
Himachal Pradesh ([ɦɪmaːtʃəl prəd̪eːʃ] ( listen); literally "snow-laden province") is a state of India located in North India. Situated in the Western Himalayas, it is bordered by states of Jammu and Kashmir on the north, Punjab on the west, Haryana on the southwest, Uttarakhand on the southeast, and the Tibet Autonomous Region on the east. At its southernmost point, it also touches the state of Uttar Pradesh. The state's name was coined from the Sanskrit—Him means 'snow' and achal means 'land' or 'abode'—by acharya Diwakar Datt Sharma, one of the state's eminent Sanskrit scholars.

If you are in Manali, make a point to visit this place. It is a couple of minutes drive from Naggar Castle. The place is simply lovely and is extremely well maintained. The gallery of paintings by Nicholas Roerich is interesting. The life of the man is worth knowing about. The institute's activities and its association with a new-born India should fascinate many. The lovely walk up to the Tribal Art Gallery is also great. I would recommend a visit to people who are interested in our immediate past.

This museum clearly shows the recent history of Tibet and the reasons why the Tibetan People and particularly His Holiness the Dali Lama and his closest followers fled Tibet in the late 1950's and beyond. Well laid out with clear narrations in 3 languages; first hand testimony from those who have made the perilous journey over the Himalaya. . Would recommend everyone who visits this area comes here for an enlightening experience

Glance and marvel at the collection of photos and pictures that belong to the British Raj Era in Shimla at this museum. The Shimla heritage museum is housed in a 120 year old heritage building itself, formerly known as the US Club
