We entered the museum at 9.30 am...we showed our Identification card and then Armed force police allowed us to enter. Its a really great place where almost everything about the life of Army, their posts, uniform, aircrafts, badges etc are preserved. An interesting place to visit.

Collection of over a 100 variety of butterflies found mainly in the north east India. Also has a collection of other insects. Must visit for students. This is a residential house. Hence one must be ready to wait for a long time to gain entry during holiday season.
