World class Infantry Museum opened to the general public on Friday. The museum has been set up under the aegis of The Infantry School with the intention of showcasing the Infantry with the theme line
‘Infantry: The Ultimate’. The project was conceived in July 2003 as a national level Training Hall Cum Research Centre. Here you will get a glimpse of the history of the Infantry from 1747 to 2020 depicting the rich heritage, glimpses of our glorious past and supreme sacrifice of our valiant soldiers preserved in statues, murals and photo galleries.
The construction of this museum has been in the works for a decade. The Infantry Museum is designed on a Living Concept Museum wherein the details are being updated regularly. The building is being developed segment wise as per overall plan, so that experience from developing each segment is utilized to place artefacts, props, statues, exhibits and displays inside and outside the museum building in a more deliberate and integrated manner.
This three-storey building of museum has been built on two acres of land. It has 17 distinct rooms which are covering the history and evolution of Indian Infantry.
