Bamboo Heritage Hall

Bamboo Heritage Hall is a dedicated exhibition hall located within the Kisama Heritage Village, about 12 km from Kohima in Nagaland. Established by the Government of Nagaland as part of the heritage village complex, it showcases the extensive use of bamboo in Naga tribal life. The hall displays bamboo artifacts, crafts, construction techniques and everyday objects, highlighting bamboo's cultural and economic importance to the Naga communities and preserving traditional knowledge for visitors.

Visitors can expect a single-hall museum structure within the Kisama Heritage Village complex showcasing bamboo artifacts and exhibits. The hall displays traditional Naga bamboo crafts, household items, construction models, baskets, and tools with informative displays. The setting is within the larger heritage village with Naga morungs (traditional huts), open grounds and amphitheatre surrounding the hall. Visitors can walk through the exhibits, view craftsmanship, take photographs and learn about bamboo's role in Naga daily life and architecture.

Bamboo Heritage Hall is part of the Kisama Heritage Village established by the Government of Nagaland in 2000 to preserve and promote Naga tribal heritage. The village was created to bring together replicas of traditional morungs of different Naga tribes in one complex and to host the annual Hornbill Festival. The hall was developed to document and preserve bamboo-related traditions and knowledge systems.

The hall highlights the central role of bamboo in Naga culture, used for housing, crafts, tools, musical instruments, and daily utilities. It preserves and presents traditional bamboo craftsmanship and knowledge of various Naga tribes, demonstrating bamboo's cultural, functional and sustainable significance in Naga community life.
