Visakha Museum, Maritime history museum in Chinna Waltair, India
The Visakha Museum displays maritime artifacts, historical photographs, military equipment, and traditional musical instruments across multiple exhibition halls.
Established in 1991, this former Dutch bungalow was transformed into a museum to preserve the heritage of the Visakhapatnam region.
The museum exhibits portraits of royal families from Vizianagaram and Bobbili, alongside traditional weapons including steel bows and ceremonial swords.
Located on Dr NTR Beach Road, the museum opens from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM except Fridays, with entry fees of 10 rupees for adults.
The museum houses an unexploded 250-pound bomb from World War II and the coconut shell from S.S Jala Usha's launch ceremony by Jawaharlal Nehru.
