MPPSC 2020 Prelims Paper-I · Question 99 of 100

Correct — C, Bhopal. The Madhya Pradesh Tribal Museum (Janjatiya Sangrahalaya) is situated in Bhopal, the state capital. It showcases the art, culture, dwellings and lifeways of the tribal communities of Madhya Pradesh.

• (a)Chhindwara — Chhindwara has a strong tribal population but is not the site of the MP Tribal Museum.
• (b)Indore — Indore hosts other museums, but the state Tribal Museum is in Bhopal.
• (d)Ratlam — Ratlam is not the location of the MP Tribal Museum.

Bhopal is a museum hub of Madhya Pradesh. The Tribal Museum (Janjatiya Sangrahalaya), opened in 2013, along with the Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Manav Sangrahalaya, presents the material and artistic culture of the state's tribes.

Location recall: MP Tribal Museum -> Bhopal (the capital), not a tribal-district town.
