research and display of past objects.Right now the museum is waiting to be inaugurated .Thanks to the students of history department for their hard work . Hop that the museum can be useful for the history students and the society to memorize the past and also to develop the idea that the present is the continuation of the past. Museums are viewed in many different ways such as businesses, storehouses of collections, exhibition and display venues, educational establishments, research organisations, communal spaces and places of memorization.
