Located in the premises of the Telugu Samkshema Bhavan, the Nehru Centenary Tribal Museum (NCTM) is a museum dedicated to the social and cultural life of tribal communities in  Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. 

With galleries displaying artefacts related to tribal communities from Srikakulam, Vizianagaram, Visakhapatnam, East Godavari, West Godavari, Khammam and Adilabad districts, the museum seeks to make available the wisdom and stories of these tribal communities and their oft-overlooked way of life.

The exhibits include living structures, agricultural equipment, hunting tools, musical instruments, tableaux and dioramas from tribal communities like Yerukulas, Gonds, Koyas, Savaras and Lambadas. 

Other facilities include a mini auditorium that screens films on tribal culture and development and a library with over  14,500 books on tribal communities from India and around the world.
