Port Blair, the capital town of Andaman and Nicobar islands, is a stop for tourists traveling to this union territory in the Bay of Bengal. Though the nearby islands attract all the tourists, Port Blai receives its fair share of visitors, owing to its history. Once a British Penal Colony, today its famous attraction, the Cellular Jail acts as a memorial to Indian activists who fought for independence. This is not it, as this vibrant town has other interesting museums too for those who like to know more about culture, tradition and history. One of these places is the Anthropological Museum Port Blair<\/strong>. The museum mainly focuses on the indigenous tribes of the island.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Zonal Anthropological Museum in Port Blair<\/strong> was established in 1975. It is one of the best museums in town to visit. It is a well maintained museum which tells us more about this island\u2019s local tribes. These tribes are also believed to be one of the oldest in the world. The islands have six main tribes native to this place, Onges, Sentinelese, Jarawas, Andamanese, Shompens and Nicobarese. These tribes maintain limited contact with the world, and not a lot is known about them. On a regular day one isn\u2019t permitted to enter the tribal areas, but need to take special permission for the same. This museum is thus one of the ways to understand and know about the tribal life here.<\/p>\n
