The Indian War Memorial Museum is located at Naubat Khana Building, the very first building one encounters upon entering the Red Fort complex in Delhi. The Naubat Khana, or Drum House, is where ceremonial music was played to announce the arrival of the royalty and important dignitaries.

The drum house has four floors and it also served as a gate house 'Hathi Pol' where the visiting dignitaries had to leave their horses and elephants. Above the Naubat Khana is the Indian War Memorial Museum. Formerly called Red Fort Museum of Arms and Weapons, the museum depicts the diorama of the battle of Panipat, along with the weapons and dresses used in first world war.

This is the reverse side of the museum building. All the exhibits are located on the upper floor. (10 November, 2004)

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
