Samudrika Naval Marine Museum

Naval marine life museum

The Samudrika Naval Marine Museum is a well-maintained museum operated by the Indian Navy, offering visitors an educational journey into the marine life, geography, and history of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. The word “Samudrika” itself reflects the museum’s focus on the sea and its treasures.

The museum is divided into several sections, each dedicated to different themes such as marine biodiversity, coral reefs, shell collections, and naval history. Visitors can explore beautifully preserved specimens of colorful fish, corals, and rare shells found in the surrounding waters of the Andaman Sea.

Another important section highlights the strategic importance of the Andaman Islands and the role of the Indian Navy in protecting India’s maritime borders. Models, maps, and displays explain naval operations and the geography of the region in a simple and engaging manner.

This museum is ideal for families and children, as it combines learning with visual appeal. It also helps visitors appreciate the fragile marine ecosystem and the need for conservation. A visit to Samudrika Museum perfectly complements beach and island tours.
The Science Centre in Port Blair offers interactive exhibits related to science and environment. It is especially popular among children and young visitors, providing learning through fun activities.
