The museum established by Armoured Corps Centre and School, Ahmednagar, was inaugurated by former Army Chief (late) Gen BC Joshi in 1994. The 50 tanks, self-propelled guns, specialist vehicles and armoured cars standing amid the scenic beauty silently narrate the tales of battles and wars.

About the collection: This museum has included 50 historical war tanks in its collection. The most prominent and major attraction amongst all is British Mark I which had participated in World War I and Armoured Car II which played a pivotal role in World War II. But, for Indian patriots the major attraction is Vijayanta Tank. India’s first indigenous battle tank that had played a significant role in India’s memorable victory over Pakistan in 1971 war. The museum’s collection also includes Sovietmade T-54. The museum also houses some of these vintage armoured fighting vehicles which are the only one of its kind in Asia. All the vehicles still carry distinguishing insignia, formation signs and names, preserving their character. It has a model belonging to the class of armoured cars that General Dwyer used to enter Amritsar’s Jallianwala Bagh. The 1934 armoured car Schmerer Panzersphah Wagen (8- RAD) donning a ‘swastik’, a vital component of Adolf Hitler’s fleet, transports the visitors to the Nazi era of Europe.
