It is so non-Indian! But a nice collection of European artifacts in a European style palace! 'Guides' are nor really knowledgeable since they mostly state the names of the exhibits or the material they are made of, which are quite obvious, but they insist on a big tip! If you find a guide that really knows the stuff maybe it's... More

If history or art excites you, this is the place to go. The number of statuettes of Greek gods that are part of a family collection going back 250 years is brilliant. The place can be hard to find without a GPS. Also it isn't government managed so there is no entry fee. However being a private museum-esque, entry is... More

Very unpleasant staff who behave as if we are unwelcome intruders to their private property. Our guide didn't like us taking notes, saying if took notes, we would not be able understand what he said. He wanted us to look at only the pieces he cared to show. We had to remove our footwear outside and walk on the dirty... More

An unexpected highlight of our visit to Kolkata was this private residence with its own museum/art gallery that you could visit ( absolutely no photos !!) by paying a small fee to the security guards who would then give an escorted tour.... marvellous!

Italian style palace, Italian marble flooring and good collection of European paintings and sculpture of Raja Mullick. But full of dust, and not well displayed or organised.

A unique insite into crazy wealth and a Rajwari in the streets of calcutta. The collection is kind of crazy but interesting and the neighborhood it is in is really interesting.

This really is the most astonishing place and should be on everyone's visiting list if they can get a pass to go in. Having passed the guard (armed with a spear) at the front gate, we left our shoes at the entrance and then spent an hour or so wandering around this dusty, cobweb ridden, run down in many places...

The marble palace is probably one of the nicest things I have seen in India so far. It has some cuban charme, a little run down, surrounded by palm trees and a cute little private zoo. You need a permission from the tourist office, however you can try to talk to the guard. Some green banknote might help a lot!... More

The only most beautiful place in kolkata north is this marble palace. The most interesting part of it is that it shows how lavish the zamindars were during their reign. The cages for the peacocks were empty, the entrace having two lions shows the symbol of power. The close proximity to the marketplace is however a disadvantage to its location.... More
