Odisha State Maritime Museum

The Odisha Maritime Museum is a beautiful place in Cuttack, located by the Mahanadi River. It opened in 2013 and is one of the first maritime museums in India. The museum was built on the site of an old British workshop called the Jobra Workshop, where boats were once made and repaired. Inside the museum, there are many interesting galleries that show the rich sea history of Odisha.

You can learn about how boats were made long ago, how Odisha traded with other countries by sea, and how sailors lived and worked.One of the main attractions is the aquarium, where you can see many kinds of fish from Odisha’s rivers and seas. The museum also has a 3D show, a library, a cafeteria, and a shop where you can buy souvenirs. This museum is a fun and educational place for children, students, and anyone who wants to explore Odisha’s connection with the sea.
