Smritika Museum

Smritika Museum is a small history museum located on Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Island, formerly Ross Island, about 2 km east of Port Blair in the Andaman Islands. Housed in a restored British-era bungalow that was once the Chief Commissioner's residence, it is maintained by the Indian Navy. The museum displays archival photographs, documents and artefacts depicting the island's British colonial administration, Japanese occupation period and naval history.

Visitors can expect a compact museum housed in a restored colonial bungalow surrounded by ruins of the former British administrative settlement. Inside, galleries display black-and-white photographs, maps, newspaper clippings and artefacts related to Ross Island's history from 1858 onwards. The island setting includes ruined churches, barracks, bungalows, a cemetery and overgrown tropical vegetation with free-roaming deer and peacocks. Access is only by ferry from Port Blair and exploration is on foot along paved paths.
