The Kangra Art Museum houses such artefacts as pottery, sculptures, woodcarvings, coins, manuscripts, royal tents, costumes, jewellery,  and more. One can trace their origin up to the 5th century.

The museum also has a library and a separate section for contemporary artist, sculptors and photographers.

Kangra had been the cultural centre during the last millennia. The artistic fervour declined after the inroads of Mahmud of Ghazni in 1009, and revived in the late 14th
century. During the 18th century, Kangra style miniature painting brought recognition for its details and intricate designs.

The miniature paintings are thematic based on religion, history, tradition, and the life of the Kangra royalty. Artists use natural paints derived from dried-up flowers and herbs and a special paper. The brushes used are made of bird feathers and squirrels hair.

A few hours away (55 km) from Tatva’s resort in Himachal (Bir Billing), the Kangra Art Museum is the best place to see the glory of the Pahari antiquity.
