Rhino Heritage Museum, Shillong Overview
The Rhino Heritage Museum, located in the Bara Bazaar area of Shillong, is dedicated to army personnel, military weapons, and war missiles and rifles. The museum gets its name from the pink-coloured rhinoceros sculpture installed outside the premises. Among its exhibits, the highlight is a display of Japanese army weaponry.
Built in 1928, it is believed that the site of the museum is where the Japanese prisoners of war were kept imprisoned. It was later on built and renovated by Lt. Gen Shokin Chauhan, the director general of Assam Rifles. The Rhino Heritage Museum has distinctive galleries and photographs showcasing not just military paraphernalia but also depicting the local culture.
