The Jorasanko Thakur Bari is one of the well preserved monuments in kolkata. We visited the site couple of years back with family. It is like a slice of history. It showcase the different aspects of the day to day life of the the then Thakur family. It also showcase the life and work of our Robi Thakur. Overall it is worth a visit.

Jorasanko Thakurbari is a must-visit for anyone interested in Bengali culture and history. It was the ancestral home of the Tagore family, one of the most influential families in Bengal.Rabindranath Tagore was born, lived & died here. The ancestral home of Tagore family, now turned into a museum. It was like a time machine to look through the life & works of Rabindranath Tagore. Apart from the entry ticket (INR 20), there is an INR 50 ticket to use mobile cameras within the premises but do note – photography inside the Rabindra Bharati Museum is prohibited. Museum timings are 9 am to 5 pm but the ticket counter is closed at 4.30 pm.

Gives us a sneak peak into his life style and personality. Also provides a glorious sketch of his family. The precincts are maintained in a way to elude the aura due to the Nobel laureate. Access was a bit confusing, though

House of Tagore been before. Now alas a 2 tier admission system ref ? Bengal government. So duly “ othered” as a “ foreigner “ I paid. About ? 5 times what a local pays. Mmmm. It’s quite dusty. A bit dirty. Mostly curated in Bengali. Which sort of detracts from the meaning of Tagore. Place appears not well maintained or loved. But still a little you feel his presence. Staff are bossy un engaged and grim.
