Museums are always fascinating because they hide not one but many stories within their walls. Here. we take you on a trip through some of the most prized possessions of this region. Here are 5 museums in Vizag you must visit at least once.

Located on the serene Rama Krishna Beach, this museum that started functioning in 2001 was converted from the mighty 1400 ton INS Kursura, a Russian-built submarine. As a museum, the beached Sub gives a rare opportunity for the general public to visit experience and learn about the forbidden confines of a Naval Submarine, torpedo rooms, staff quarters, the top-secret sonar and radar installations, and the submarine control systems. It gives the visitor an understanding of the trying and tough conditions under which the submariners serve the nation. INS Kursura had a glorious record of serving the nation for 3 decades. It has traversed 73500 nautical miles and clocked over 3000 dived hours and participated in all types of Naval Operations. It played a vital role during the 1971 war and helped the nation against enemy attacks. The Sub has a length of over 91 meters. Her sheer size evokes awe and admiration. Installing this decommissioned submarine on the RK Beach itself was a daunting task and it took almost 18 months to beach the submarine and convert it into a museum. The Kursura Museum was thrown open to the public on 24 Aug 2002. The submarine displays its complete weapon package, including the torpedoes. Visit it to catch a glimpse of the might of our Navy!
