This museum in Goa is another unique one which displays items and artefacts, machinery as well as equipment that show the evolution on the Indian naval forces over the years. Located in Bogmalo, this museum is divided into 2 parts - an outdoor exhibit that has a range of decommissioned aircraft that served with the Navy, a shed that displays old aircrafts and their engines, and an inside gallery where you can see information about the type of machines used, vintage photos from aviation history and other information about the Indian Navy.
