Guides on this place are well verse with history of this Kalapani. Good narrative skills.

Nice museum showing the history of Andaman & Nicobar islands. Various pictures and models are presented of British & Japanese period, Freedom Fighters of India and about the tribes of Andaman & Nicobar islands.

This place gets far less credit than it should. I visited this place out of chance, was totally unplanned. It didn’t show up on any tourist website. It’s a private museum which is run by a gentleman who has a lot of knowledge of the islands. Photography of the artifacts is prohibited. He explains in detail about the islands and it’s history. Usually in Hindi which is sort of like the local language, but he does the explanation in a combination of Hindi and English on request. It should be on your list of places to go to. They charge 250 per head (as far as I remember...) and it’s a good idea to give them a call before you head out there. Not crowded.

Kalapani museum contains the artefacts, original photos about the freedom fight of India and Andaman. There are status which shows how freedom fighters were being tortured in that period. Very good collection and if you have fond of history then this is a must visit place for you. Though I have reduced 1 star as the entry fee is bit higher (₹250) even if I agree that cost for collecting this papers and photos would be high but keeping low entry fee will attract the most visitors.

Very nice place, if you wanna know the history.

As per my attractions tis place was in my list on top.No doubt i m recommend and praise this place beast in compare to other museums in Portblair.because their are certain reason to visit tis place are: this place has real vibes of history.a moment you enter in the museum you start realiseing a meaning full story which start from the mystery of Andamans and ends on 1947 and after touch points .its real collection of old pics , news pappers, diarys, registers, stories, dioramas, i mean i have very less word to say on this.as per my observation if you see all before to start your journey in Portblair then i m sure that u will understand real andmans .tis place is clean and very maintain ,colourful and live.and tickets price is very less for all of these.lovely.i really fall in love with tis place wana visit again and again .at last want to say thanks to Mr.Mukeshwar who is the founder and MD of KALAPANI .and rally a man personality.i recommend strongly to visit kalapani and understand the valu of place by him only.he is persone who made and collect all small to big things by him self and made all live.great job sir .salute to your work and job for us.

Worth visiting, the professor has create very nice galleries on history of Andaman, he explained in details and the pictures and m.o. amendments there are very informative.

This is privately created museum. It has plenty of historical photographs and a big collection of historical documents such as records and newspapers. All history of andaman and nikobar islands from old tribal times to independent India can be seen here. It is advisable to start andaman tour from here in order to have good background knowledge of islands. Nice helpful staff.

Will bring back the memory of freedom fighters!!

You get loads of information, watch the slide show/ movie which shows the heart wrenching struggle of our freedom fighters

Great place to know history of the islands actual population - tribals and impact of invaders on the islands.

This should be the first place after landing in Port blair then watch Cellular light & sound show. Awesome experience for learning history of Andaman & Nicobar Islands and freedom fighters struggle here. Do read the information displayed there and see real pics clicked century ago. The efforts put up by Mukteshwar Lall ji is tremendous.One can ask for discounted rate for Tickets by giving my reference.RegardsBandhan Preet Singh, BSNL.

Great Museum, Covers Indian Freedom Fighting History and its Andaman and Nicobar part.Must Visit,

A beautiful place to acquire knowledge about history of andaman..n other details

Kapapani Museum is newly established for Awareness for life of freedom fighters in Andaman.

Beautifully maintained, very well explained by the owner who covered all the aspects of Cellular Jail.

Lot to learn from the museum, well maintained, but I peraonally did not find it that much interesting.

Good information!! Historic Collections are very nice ...

This should be a compulsory place to visit for tourists, preferably at the first day of their trip to know about the rich history of the place & its people.One man can make a difference & this museum is the perfect example.Great experience. You can visit dozens of other museums, but this alone does the job. Knowledgeable guides, complimentary drinks & a DVD which you can view later. Superb experience.

Lot of actual photographs related to the history of andaman and Nicobar islandsAlthough I also visited the government museum but Kalapani museum was special as explaination is also given with each photo and model.

Very Informative. All details are very well covered.

This Place is Private Property , and theyre Giving information about the History of Andamans & Nicobar Islands , Not a Must Place to Visit

This is one of the best museums of Andaman and Nicobar Islands. The entrance fee is 250 per person. It is located beside the main road and easily visible from traffic. It is a private museum and the staff have taken great care to maintain the place.Firstly, the overall ambience is calm and soothing. All the floors are very neat, well-lit and well ventilated.Secondly, this museum is an information warehouse with every nook full of beautiful historic pictures and facts.Thirdly, the staff have complete knowledge of the history of the Islands and make sure the visitors know about it. They also ensure, visitors follow the correct route within the museum , so as not to miss anything.Complimentary tea/juice is offered. Visitors will also leave with a DVD containing the history of the Islands.The museum follows a strict no photos policy, hence no photos to share.Overall , this place is a must see.

Excellent place to know about Andaman and its history. Well mannered staff, explain you about pictures.. One must visit. Show documentary about freedom fighters jailed in cellular jail and give one complimentary DVD with documentary of freedom struggle. Heart touching!

Very Informative, must visit if you are interested in history!

A must visit place. Very well curated and guided by the curator them self.

Mohammed Rafique House

Wonderful collection and description of history. Must to visit place.

Good Collection of History of Andaman By A single Man.

This hidden gem is a must visit if you like museums. This is spread across 4 floors with different eras in the history of these islands. The staff are very knowledgeable and take you through a 30min talk about the brief of the things kept in the museum which is downright enthralling. If possible do this at the beginning of the trip to Andamans. This is a private collection of a single family and one of the best that there is.

Historical museum which is maintained very well

A good place to refresh about history of Andaman

I never visit inside this museum,just my house is near to this that,s all

Nice museum

I visited Kalapani museum in Port Blair this month and I must say that it is one of the best museums in India as on date. The staff are very courteous and guide you through the nitty-gritties of the collections.The place is very well maintained and has a very candid picture of Modern Indian history (especially Andaman & Nicobars history). I must say that despite having read about the Modern history in detail in the past, there was so much new that I discovered here that has been completely omitted to be captured in the conventional history books.I would strongly recommend this museum to the tourists, students and anybody who visits Port Blair and is interested in learning about the Indian history.

The tourist guides get good money if they bring people here.. So they definitely recommend this and bring you here.. Very costly.. A small house which is converted into museum.. Do not waste money.. Even if you go, Do not take elders they will be unable to walk all the way up.. And the person who manages is an arrogant one.. Not to mention he is the only one who knows English..

People who have the time and interest to know history of a place they are visiting - it is a must visit place. If you are the type of person who is patient and like to read through old documents - give yourself at least 3 to 4 hours here.Amazing is that this is a collection of a single person!!!!

Good place to refresh about Andaman Islands history

Photos of documents and photographs are prohibited there. But this is a lifetime experience. If you are here and you would like to know about the place where you are, then you must come here.You would get to know that Andaman is so much more than the virgin ecstacy

This is a private museum. Important collection of pics only at the entrance. Rest all is random pics . You can visit here once if you have time.

I am not any experience.

Huge collection of historic pictures and documents... Need lot of time to completely view all those

Display of private collection by one sincere and devoted individual. Excellent experience. Very nicely explained in details by their staff as well as the man himself!! Got to know many new things about history. Never give a miss if you are in the Andamans.

Well preserved history and its proof

This Museum shows and explain histories Cellular Jail of Andaman and Port Blair by beautiful models and artefact people who explains all history and culture of Andaman are so enthusiastic you can see pride and excitement on their faces while giving speech and you will love to hear all history from them but other downside of museum is its made up in different parts on different floors so it can be difficult to explore it on different floors especially for elderly people! Washrooms/restrooms are on ground floor!

Its fabulous..👌

Its a good place for people interested in history..things are displayed in pics and murals, fee is RS 250 which includes guide also.

This private museum (4 floors) is indeed a place to visit. Not only shows history of Andaman & Nicobar but also some rare photogaphs of Indias freedom movement. Our guide Ms. Sheila have lot of patience and enthusiasm to explain in details. We spent almost one and half hour in the museum.

This museum covers entire history of Andaman and Nicobar islands. Many pictures and articles showing the different tribes, freedom fighters and britishers and their life style.

Amazing place to know the history of Andaman and Nicobar

Amazing efforts which showcases the whole islands story within just 3 floors!

Its a private museum based on history of andaman and cellular jail in amdaman...Guide is available here...2 types of tickets...150 and 250...In rs 250 ticket one will get a dvd on museum....People in group will be shown a documentary ...1956 committe report on netaji is available here...Its close to airport..

An amazing collection, clearly spells out the direct connection between gadar of 1857 and people of Andaman & Nicobar. Strange that people from mainland do not appreciate the connection, they dont know and no effort is made to educate them about it. This is a valiant effort in that direction and would be great if it can be made into a travelling museum that can be showcased in the mainland also

Museum is good where you can understand Andaman & nicobar island but tickets is high .. there are two categories tickets one is 150 and 2nd is 250 .. in 250 you get guide . He also provide juice , tea , coffee in 250rs.

A decent museum which describes every historical manifestations of Andaman and Nicobar Islands starting from the primitive times to the Independence of India. It also preserves some really old manuscripts of the British and Japanese governments who ruled in these islands almost a century ago. It may feel boring for history haters but its quite knowledgeable

Very nice

Very well done place. Theyve put a lot of effort in collecting the artefacts. Its not a govt run museum. Its run by a private collector.

Gives good insights into andamans and Indian history and freedom struggle

A complete narration of anthropological activities in the Andamans, starting from prehistoric times and ending after the Indian independence struggles. Extremely rare documents from early times, which are not available anywhere else are on display here. Basic amenities are provided.

The place is exquisite. It depicts the local people , tells the story of Indian independence and the role the people of Andamans played and impact on the people in great detail.

A place where you can find detailed history about Andaman & Nicobar Islands. British Govt. Orders, Newspaper Articles, Papers during Japanese occupation and much more. Must visit museum for people interested in history.

Loved the place... It has lots of authentic data.

Act of sabotages......stored as history.Apart from that maintenance and guidance is good 5 ✡️ for this . Fine evidences and many more.display , needs some sort of PRIVACY, While displaying public.Actually freedom struggle started in various parts of the territory, but officially they declared that everything started from central India ,and that leads to the prison in andaman ........situated far away from mainland ,as said in main history .anyways appreciated. Jai hind.

Visited the museum in oct.2018. really a must place to visit by anybody. A grand collection and display of Andaman history through photographs and models. Plus a great curator with whom we had Qs and ans. about the And man and Nicobar.

Nice and authentic collection. Enthusiastic people to explain. Government should encourage such musiums to promote and keep live the history the Island had been witnessed.

A very informative experience with an even better curator. The person who owns the museum and briefs you is super passionate abt the history of Andaman and Nicobar Islands and its a true joy to listen to him.

Well maintained place, lady over there neatly explained history of Andaman in sequence. Worth visiting..

It a beautiful place to know about the mind blowing beauti and history of andaman

Kudos to the enthusiasm of the owner who has marvellous collection and restored amazon history

It is a dedicated effort of an individual to re-create history of India Independence and the suffering the freedom fighters have undergone under the oppressive rule of the British.

A good encyclopedia of the journey of pre-independence to post-independence era of A&N islands. Museum needs a little polishing with proper floor wise signages & dash of greenery!!

Very nice place

It is the best place to know about the history of Andaman and Nicobar Islands..

Best place to visit in Port Blair

Have given this place five out of five stars. One of the best to visit museums in Andamans of all the musuems in Port Blair. The location is bit far from the city area almost 10+ Kms from city but visit is still much worth here. They have all the information about the history and about the tribals and livelihoods in the island and how it came through. Photography is strictly prohibited here. Entry ticket is 250 per person which is quite costly. But overall really worth a visit incase u want to know the history of andamans

Sculpture at Kalapani Museum portrays a live image of past events and dictates better about the punishments given to the prisoners.

Informative place. Must visit when in Andaman to know the places history

Very well explained for all the pictures and models present there. Nice museum.

The lady guide explained about it very well. Everyone including the last moghul emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar was imprisoned. This place must be visited without missing.

Nice place to know about the history of andaman, it gives a clear idea about coloneal , japanese attack, and the local tribal..

A must visit place . Well kept. The curator is extremely well read , knows about the places and narrates it wonderfully.

Must See spot when u r visiting this island. Great research and collection single handedly done by Mr. Mukeshwar Lall with passion & dedication.

Its all about history of andaman.....good collection..

Clean. Well maintained historical monument and relics. Great show. Great guides.

Very informative and a good collection of artefacts, photos and documents stating the history. A must visit.

Its a place from where our next generation may come to know about their past culture past events happened before them ..

Very well made. Excellent efforts by Mukteshwar Lal.
