Imphal, October 15 2015 :
Manipur Archaeology Department is all set to open an Archaeological Museum at Kangla Fort soon.
Department's Superintendant K Dinamani Singh told Hueiyen Lanpao on Thursday that 70 percent of the archaeological museum construction has been completed so far and it is expected to be inaugurated before World Heritage Day 2016 that is April 18 next.
"We're keeping replicas, tools and coins at the museum.
All requisite materials for these replicas are bought from Kolkata and hence sufficient time is consumed in preparing and making them," Dinamani said.

The replicas include the memorial stone of Maharaja Chandrakirti at Ukhrul district and others located at Churachandpur and Tipaimukh and valley areas, he informed.
Dinamani said stone tools belonging to Stone Age found at Tharon Cave and Kangkhui Cave will also be kept at the museum.
There are also old coins with the Archaeology Department, which will be on display at the museum, he added.
Antique items collected through excavations from Sekta, Khangabok and Kangla will also be displayed, he said, adding many other artifacts are also being arranged.
He stated that archaeological objects are assets of the generations to come and their preservation is a much-needed task of the present generation.
