About

The Museum of Santal Culture (Santali: ᱥᱟᱱᱛᱟᱞ ᱟᱹᱨᱤᱪᱟᱹᱞᱤ ᱫᱚᱦᱚ ᱡᱚᱜᱟᱣ ᱵᱟᱠᱷᱚᱞ) is a private community museum located in the village of Bishnubati, West Bengal. The community-led museum documents the history of the Santal community largely prevalent in the region, which includes their past, their memories, and traditional ways of being. The museum was co-founded by educator Dr. Boro Baski alongside other members of the village of Bishnubati, a Santali village of "less than 700 hundred people" in the Birbhum district of West Bengal.
