I enjoyed seeing all the work in stone: big buddha feet, temple facade, door frames with stories on them. I also thought it interesting that not much has changed since the British left, I think. There's a section of native peoples from all over India and their lifestyles based on a 1961 census. I wonder if they are still there.... More

I liked this place not so much for exhibits but because of that there time has as though stood. It seems that all remains just the same as in the beginning of creation of a museum. It is similar to a huge warehouse and is not so modern, but it's something of a spirit of the age there. More

The museum has collection of best and expensive articles from the pages of history. It's a shame that such items lacks the care and attention of the keepers. Can be a good day for outing but gets over crowded during school and public holidays. More

waste of time . half the time there is no electricity in the rooms. what is expected to see is not know. also one has to take a pass for taking photos but for cell phone no pass and no photos. even a had bag is not allowed . but the place is atleast clean. More

I found the cultural anthropology section interesting. Old fashioned methods of exhibiting items. Descriptions were sometimes missing. More

The Indian museum (also due to some strange reason is called 'Jadu Ghar' - which literally translates to 'Magic House'!), is one of the oldest museums, if not the oldest, in India. Some of the exhibits are unique, such as an Egyptian "Mummy" & a Dinosaur skeleton. More

the place is not kept well. it was very very hot when I went here. You are also limited from taking pictures unless you pay a steep fine. More

This is a very old Museum in Kolkata. It have very rare collections of antiques and arts. A must visit if you are fond of them. More

It is the first Museum set up in Asia, established in 1814. The collection is large and impressive. The Egyptian Section and the Painting Gallery are not to be missed. The Museum is huge so the best time to visit is before lunch. It will take a full day if you plan to see everything on display with great care.... More
