Indian Naval Maritime Museum

Posts

I recently visited the Mattanchery Palace in Kochi and was blown away by its rich history and stunning architecture. The palace is a beautiful example of traditional Kerala architecture, with intricate carvings and beautiful artwork adorning its walls and ceilings. I recently visited the Indian Naval Maritime Museum and was thoroughly impressed by the exhibits and displays. The museum provides a fascinating insight into the Indian Navy's rich history and the challenges they faced over the years. The museum's exhibits cover a range of topics, from naval warfare and navigation to marine ecology and shipbuilding. The exhibits are well curated, and there is plenty of information available to help visitors understand the displays. One of the highlights of my visit was the opportunity to see the helicopter that can land both on water and soil and also there were guns and other weapons used earlier by the Indian Navy. The staff were friendly and helpful, and I appreciated their passion for sharing the Navy's history with visitors. Overall, I highly recommend visiting the Indian Naval Maritime Museum if you're in the area. It's a must-visit destination for anyone interested in maritime history and the Indian Navy. "Jai Hind"

Heard of Vasco-Da-Gama who supposed to have discovered the sea route to India from Europe. But, have you heard of the Gujarati sailor Kanji Malam who steered Vaso-da-Gama from Malindi in East Africa to Calicut ? Well, this and many other historical naval maritime facts can be learnt by visiting the museum.

The Maritime Museum is right in the centre of Fort Kochi, it is an ode to the glorious past of the Indian Navy. Located on the INS Dronacharya, the museum throws light on the genesis, history, evolution and landmarks of the Indian Navy. The Navy’s origins in Surat along with features on shipbuilding are particularly popular attractions here. We also learn about Kerala's trade links with the Arabs, its maritime hero Kunjali Marakkar; influence of India's maritime power in South East Asia and the colonisation of the Indian sub-continent by European powers. Elaborate details about Indian Navy and displayed different weapons (small) used by them in the past. You will find lot of demonstration of Indian Naval history on the walls. The galleries and displays allow you to discover ships and boats of all shapes and sizes, voyage across the world's oceans, and experience epic adventures of exploration and encounter.

A very informative and engaging museum dedicated to the growth and development of the Indian Naval force laid out in a systematic manner that is easy for the civilians to understand and appreciate. The history traced in two phases encapsulated the origin and gradual growth from the British period to the present. A large collection of 3D models and the weapons besides the ranking system and uniforms in use by the Navy are of great educational value. The outdoor exhibits are a real game changer for the visitors irrespective of their age. Well spread-out over a large area, display of the real equipment used at various times by the India Navy provided valuable insights into the evolution of naval might. Having visited the submarine exhibit in Vishakapatnam and the naval destroyer vessel in Karwar previously, we felt more complete in our understanding of the Navy after this visit.

Best spot to know the origin of Kerala history and Indian Navy. All the information and items displayed over there gives a lot of knowledge especially to school students and college guys specializing in History & Economics.

Kudos to Indian Navy for showcasing all these to public Entry fees is just 50/ per head All types of naval instrument and used by naval person are kept here. Mainly divided into two parts. One video room is also there . 20 minutes video , you can see to understand the power of Indian Navy. Starting from The Portuguese to til now, how the naval be change.
