On the 20th of November 2017, Nongthombam Biren Singh, the Chief Minister of Manipur, inaugurated the Archaeological Museum inside the Kangla Fort in Imphal.[2][3][4][5]
The museum houses replicas including that of the memorial stone of Maharaja Chandrakirti Singh at Ukhrul district, Churachandpur, Tipaimukh and areas of Imphal Valley. Besides, stone tools belonging to Stone Age found in the Tharon Cave and the Kangkhui Cave are also kept in the museum. Various antique coins are also on display in the museum. Ancient artefacts collected from the excavations of Sekta, Khangabok and the Kangla itself are also on display.[6]
