Visakha Museum
విశాఖ మ్యూజియం
A museum in an old Dutch colonial-era house on the seafront road, telling the history of Visakhapatnam and its naval past.
The Visakha Museum opened in 1991 in an old building beside the seafront road that once belonged to the Dutch. Its exhibits include relics of local royal families, ancient coins and weapons, colonial-era artefacts, and naval galleries covering the Japanese air raids on the port during the Second World War and the 1971 Indo-Pakistani War. The museum is small and can be seen in 30 to 45 minutes, making it a good match for a visit to the submarine museum nearby. Closed on Mondays. Admission is very low.
