Cuttack, the heritage millennium city is known for its rich & diverse culture, heritage monuments, great personalities, museums, festivals & food to name a few. It’s not possible to cover all in a tour, hence, certain themes has been devised to explore the city in a phased manner. The Cuttack Museum Trails is the first installment under this theme trails. It’s a proud factor that Cuttack has more than 110 theme museums with some more in the pipeline. We shall touch certain museums this time, rest shall be covered in another museum walks in future. Intention is to make walkers aware of the lesser known museums in the Silver City which can be aptly titled as City of Museums.

Museums Walks is an initiative by Aitiha to make cultural heritage followers to be aware of the cultural aspects among the state owned & private museums around us. This is the second museum walk under the Museum Walks theme & maiden trails in the Cuttack city. Stay tuned for some more such theme trails coming up.
