Jaisalmer War Museum

The War Museum is located 10 km from Jaisalmer on the Jaisalmer-Jodhpur Highway near the Military Station. This unique museum has been designed with the view of honouring the contributions and sacrifices of war heroes and to highlight their bravery. The museum has two large information display halls, an audio visual room and a souvenir shop. In addition, there are war trophies and vintage equipment on display alongwith tanks and military vehicles. The murals of the soldiers, whose supreme sacrifice led to victory in the Laungewala Battle and the 106 mm Recoilless Gun (main anti-tank weapon) employed to destroy a number of enemy tanks occupy a place of pride in the memorial.

A scintillating 'Light and Sound Show' using state of the art audio visual technology is also organised at the museum which showcases the valour, pride and rich heritage of Indian Armed Forces. The museum has a state of art audio visual theatre for screening the movie on the Battle of Laungewala. On the 'Honour Wall' are etched the names of Param Vir Chakra and Mahavir Chakra awardees who have done the nation proud and inspire future generations. The museum is open seven days a week.

History of the Museum
The idea of establishing the Jaisalmer War Museum was conceived by an Army Officer, Lieutenant General Bobby Mathews to showcase the military history of India, its wartime experiences and the sacrifices made by the Indian Army. Because Jaisalmer has a rich military tradition and has witnessed a number of historic battles in the past, the city was chosen to build the war museum. A flat barren piece of land in the Jaisalmer Military Station was finalized for the museum and under the guidance of Lieutenant General Bobby Mathews, the structure was constructed. In August 2015, Lieutenant General Ashok Singh, the General Officer Commanding-in-Chief of Southern Command dedicated the Jaisalmer War Museum to the country.
