Helpfulness
The admission price for foreigners has been hiked up from Rs 35 to a steep Rs 300 for this small and dusty museum, and in my opinion it's not really worth it. We happened to get in free because it was International Museum Day when we visited (May 18th), but if I had paid the admission fee I would have felt ripped off. There is a model of the fort near the entrance, and inside is a collection of devil masks and various artefacts from the colonial era.
