The education wing of the National Museum is headed by a Keeper who looks after all the educational services. While the free guided tours five times a day, screening of educational/art films on art and culture, weekly gallery talks, guidance to the school children and groups of students have become common features, the unit has also started organising seminars, workshops and symposiums for the scholars and academicians.

Special guided tours, illustrated lectures of prominent scholars, and programme for the handicapped children are also arranged from time to time. In addition, a summer course for the school children in Hindi and English has become quite popular. So far, twenty-six short-term in service courses in Museology have been organised. It also plans to bring out useful activity books with a view to inculcate the understanding of rich cultural heritage in a wider section of the society.
