“A living archive nestled in an orchid garden, this museum weaves together the ancestral threads of Khasi, Jaintia, and Garo heritage through artifacts, music, and memory.”

Nestled in a serene orchid garden just outside Shillong, the Ever Living Museum is a heartfelt tribute to Meghalaya’s tribal heritage. Curated by a passionate local, Mr Kyntiewbor War, the museum showcases an eclectic collection of traditional weapons, musical instruments, bamboo crafts, and rare coins from the Khasi, Jaintia, and Garo communities. With its stone museum and lush garden of wild orchids and fruits, it offers a multisensory journey through the region’s cultural and natural legacy.
