History
The Visakha Museum is housed in a historic Dutch bungalow that dates back to the early 19th century. Originally built by the Dutch, it later served as the residence of the British District Collector. The building was converted into a museum in 1991 to preserve and showcase the cultural and historical heritage of Visakhapatnam. Its collection has been carefully curated to reflect the city's diverse past, including its maritime history, colonial influences, and local art traditions. The museum has become a vital institution for understanding the city's journey through time.
