It also acts as a great stimulus for tourism development of the region. Tribal museums across India have been playing important role in preservation of tribal culture. Many tribes of India do not have any written history. The memories are passed from one generation to other through oral traditions such as songs, folk tales, and dance forms. All these tangible and intangible aspects of tribal culture are essential for tribal identity. If the tribal community loses it, they may vanish or become mere commodities. Therefore, it is important to preserve and promote tribal culture through tribal museums. Tribal museums can very well communicate the knowledge, practices, products and their natural and social environment. The paper tries to understand the context and idea behind the establishment of tribal museum through the case study of Pune Tribal Museum that was established to present an authentic display of the tribal culture of the state of Maharashtra. The study also aimed to assess the contribution of Pune tribal museum in promotion of tourism. The study tries to present a comparative analysis of the meaning and understanding of tribal museum for tribal and non-tribal youth population visiting the museum. The study primarily aims to employ qualitative and interpretative methodology in drawing inferences and conclusion regarding the meaning, context and evaluation of tribal museum. It has come out from the study that the tribal youth visiting the museum were primarily motivated by the questions of identity and pride, while the non-tribal youth visitor had varied motivations. It can be concluded that the distinction between modern and postmodern has become very fluid in the contemporary museum. It has become very difficult to ascertain when one enters modern and exit the postmodern.
