One of the greatest place to visit in Kolkata. It is the largest and earliest multipurpose Museum not only in the Indian subcontinent but also in the Asia - Pasific region of the world. It has very rare collection of Mughal Paintings, Coins, Armours, Ornaments, Bronze gallery, Insect gallery, Mask gallery, Decorative Art, Mummies and so many. It also have a collection of specimen of Botany, Zoology, Anthropology, Art. The skeleton of Mammoth and ancient mummy of Greece is the main attraction of this museum.The place is very helpful not only for the History and Architecture students but also all of the students.

Well, history talks, It does, always. This place talks, it communicates, if you listen to the history. An amazing place to see not only the Art and culture of India but also many things ( mummies, skeletons, food grains of India, ecosystems, fossils, etc). The good place for an adult to enreach him/her with great knowledge, and for a kid its an ocean of questions, and new beginnings. I must worn you if you going with one, I, myself went with my little cousin and she demanded a live interaction with a dinosaur in an alive form. Hence be prepared.Also, its easy to reach from Esplanade or Park Street (nearer) metro station, tickets are of Rs.50 for an adult and Rs.20 for a kid (from 5-12 years of age), Rs.500 for foreigners(including masses of Bangladesh). No food inside, for pictures you have to get another ticket. It takes time to explore, hence, suggested to not to go hungry or hurrying.Hope it helps.

One of the most famous places to visit in Kolkata--- The Indian Museum. Its the oldest and largest museum in Asia.Direction: get down at Esplanade and keep walking by the left side. Youll reach there within 300-400meters.Ticket price- Rs50 per adult person, Rs20 per child. You have to purchase tickets if you want to take photos inside.Egypt and Zoological department is my favourite. You can see original mummy at the Egyptian department.Hope this helps...

Its very likely, calm and nice place to visit. All things has its own importance from every perspective. If you like to study something this place is quite helpfull also.

Here you can smell history .A fossil,an ancient artifact can give a thrill to know the past .Nice place to visit with your family,friends and others.A well maintained lawn inside is very pleasing to the eye.Bags are not allowed inside,rather to be kept at the counter outside.You can have your lunch at the canteen inside.

Loved it, but some artifacts should have been well preserved, specifically the taxidermy sectionAlso, if there can be any way to request or aware people to maintain the silence and decency like not littering the ground or shouting in the corridors, the experience would have been better

A good museum in Esplanade kolkata. lots of historical thing to see in museum. tickets are really so cheap. Building was situated near Grand Oberoi Hotel.A local market is very famous over there.

To me the visit to Indian Museum was informative, educative and historically nourishing which is going to linger in my mind for a long time.The oldest and largest Museum in India is Indian Museum in Kolkata, near Park Street Metro Station. It has rare collections of antiques, arms, armors, coins, statues, masks, fossils, arts, stuffed animals, tombs and so much more from India, Asia and other parts of the World. The building itself reminds us of British legacy with a splendid architecture and a fabulous landscaped park right inside the building.

It was an amazing experience. The museum is full of relics, art, and many more which relates to our history as well as our culture and civilization. You can easily spend an evening over here. After this Pandemic, this was an awesome experience for me. The staff and volunteers were polite and helpful. Hygiene protocol was been maintained. All were wearing masks.

The Indian Museum in Kolkata, West Bengal, India, also referred to as the Imperial Museum at Calcutta in colonial-era texts, is the ninth oldest museum in the world,[citation needed] the oldest and largest museum in India. It has rare collections of antiques, armour and ornaments, fossils, skeletons, mummies and Mughal paintings. It was founded by the Asiatic Society of Bengal in Kolkata (Calcutta), India, in 1814. The founder curator was Nathaniel Wallich, a Danish botanist.The Indian Museum originated from the Asiatic Society of Bengal which was created by Sir William Jones in 1784. The concept of having a museum arose in 1796 from members of the Asiatic Society as a place where man-made and natural objects collected could be kept, cared for and displayed.The objective began to look achievable in 1808 when the Society was offered suitable accommodation by the Government of India in the Chowringhee-Park Street area

Really historical place. And best for science student and geological students. Those person who likes to know about our history related to bones,trees,fees,animals pyramid,coins etc

Founded in 1814 at the cradle of the Asiatic Society of Bengal (at the present building of the Asiatic Society, 1 Park Street, Kolkata), Indian Museum is the earliest and the largest multipurpose Museum not only in the Indian subcontinent but also in the Asia-Pacific region of the world. With the foundation of Indian Museum in 1814, the Museum movement started rolling in India and through the years from then, got a new fillip and great momentum. Since then, it has so magnificently developed and culminated into the fruitful existence of more than 400 museums in the country. The Indian Museum is the largest and oldest museum in India and has rare collections of antiques, armour and ornaments, fossils, skeletons, mummies, and Mughal paintings.

Best Collection of Valuable historical artifacts in India.... So much to learn, you need at least 3-5 days to see entire collection... Best place for students practical knowledge..

Best place to feel the time of our ancestors. The time behind us, the time thats why we live now, feel ourselves as a human. The evolution of ourselves. This place push you to know more about the world, our existence. And also they have high levels of security. But only one thing is missing that if their was an AV for describe us of our past and describe us all the history of those precious things then it will be more interesting to see and especially for children and those people who dont have any idea of history.

Awesome place....amazing artifacts. I was feeling like I am in historical periods. There collection was Awesome. If you are history lover no place can beat this. If you are visiting kolkata you should not miss this place.

I have been across many museums across this globe without knowing there is a jewel right below my nose. Trust me if you love visiting a museum then please tick this one in your checklist. Just a word of caution. Get your expectations low about the ambianceIt is located in a heritage building with a large lawn. Such grandeur is restricted only to the building. The maintenance is very poor as most places are not even dusted. However, the quality of display is the best in the world. It has fossils of prehistoric times , metals of all varieties, all kind of animal world. It’s like an one stop encyclopaedia. If you have a child please do take them. Importantly as an adult you will learn a lotThe entry feee is Rs 50/- per adult and for photography its Rs 50/- even if you shoot with your mobile phone.I just hope there is a private entity which gets involved so that at least the museum can be managed liked the best in the world

Someone who is really enthusiastic about the exhibits here will find that a day is far from enough to have a look at all the exhibits in the museum. There is a huge variety and number of interesting exhibits here.

Loads of information stuffed within this huge buliding .... I would suggest to go there with people who are expert in their field ... Otherwise there are so many things you cannot just understand by just reading the description plate tagged within.... Also you have to keep patience ... As there is so much to know upon specialised subjects .... Its a great place to visit for school college students and competitive exam aspirants .... As it will surely enrich their study or subject matter

Must visit here if you are interested in Indian and world history and archaeology.... Really a great place for a holiday...

A good place to visualise historys artifacts and other wonders.But I would rather say, maintenance is not up to the mark.

Very interesting place. Currently its closed (19.4.21) because of Covid-19It takes ₹20 for children 4-18, ₹50 for adults, ₹50 mobile camera, ₹100 DSLR entry fees.From human evolution, Egyptian mummy, dinosaur skull, human skeleton, fossils, idols to art, theres many things to see. Itll at least take 3-4 hours(or more)to see everything. Kids or adults, those who are interested in historical or scientific or artworks, should definitely visit this place.But 4 star from because of extremely rude behaviour of the staff. Even after buying ticket for camera, if you click picture of the museum (not any antique piece) theyll ask you why are clicking picture of this & that!

This Museum is one of the oldest museums in India. It will take you almost 2 hours to see all the galleries in this museum. If you are interested in history then only visit this place. Government can invest more here so that more tourists are attracted.

A nice heritage of Kolkata to vist. not so expensive.

Indian Museum has always been that one destination we bave craved to visit since our childhood days, everytime school closed for the holidays. But then life caught up and I ended up staying out of Kolkata for a decade. Having had last visited the museum sometime between 2005-2010, decided to revisit after about 15 years.So to start with we were a bit concerned whether the museum was operational or not in this corona time. We checked the timings online, and there was a telephone line which we called and confirmed. However with the cases again rising now, it is best you call on the number provided before you plan to drop in.Since we visited the museum on our way back from an errand, we had quite a few stuff with us. The neatly organised baggage storage section right on front was a big relief. Those who want to click photos with their mobile camera have to bear a slight extra charge.And then of course started the journey which lasted us close to 2 hours. Some of the rooms which get the most visits (for e.g. the Egypt Room) was well maintained. Most of the other rooms, while they have still managed to maintain history they have hosted here since the start of the museum, wear a shabby, school laboratory type of a look. However we were happy to see a revised version of the zoology section where attempts have been made to make the learning fun with the use of bright colours and lights. We hope the concept in that particular room is extended to all the other sections.In short, a must visit if you want to drive the corona blues away. But you must go with 3 hours in hand to truely enjoy and take in all that is stored there. Of course if you want to take a quick stroll, even that will take you an hour, so plan ahead!

Awesome palace. Want to go again and again. Loved it

The museum is huge.. A good place to visit on weekends with friends and family. And just for your information, the Mueseums OPEN. Just an advice- avoid heels or any painful footwear

Today I am sharing Indian Museum Kolkata. The Indian Museum, the oldest museum of India, the three story red building is situated at the City of Joy, Kolkata, in this state of West Bengal, India.The Museum was established on the year 1814, before independence, the museum has a very rich collection, the collection includes of Geology, Botany, Zoology, Anthropology, Archaeology, Art and many more sections you can see there, inside the four boundered structure you will find a beautiful open space to enjoy the sunlight, it also has a very rare collections of species and it also includes a Mummy which was imported from Greece, it also has a Indian Traditional Section.Which beautifully shows the attire of the people of the states of our country india, moreover there is a section of masks and weapons of medieval India.Which the early men used to survive the place attracts people with all ages, everybody loves by watching all the displayed things, especially the students gains a loft of knowledge realated to history and past.Follow me for more information.

Indian museum is easily accessible by road and nearby metro station( Park Street). There is a security check at the enterance and then you are into the hundreds of those ancient and unearthed artifacts and sculptures.The entry fees is Rs 50 for adults and Rs 20 upto 18 years. For foreigners its Rs 500.Mobile photography Rs 50 and Dslr is Rs 100.The four walled building holds millions of good and knowledgeable things and is worth spending time.Weekends plans are a good option.

If one asks me, Id likely reply that all Museums are great places to visit. Even if you are not interested in History/Archeology/Geology, you can just go there to study the building architecture. When you are inside the building youll have a feeling that you have time traveled into the British Era where the building was first built. The first floor is dedicated completely to Human Evolution and Indian History from the Pre-Mauryan era to the Post-Mughal Period. The first floor also has a collection of Rocks and Minerals that one MUST see.On the second floor well see the collection from Egypt and the famous mummy and reserved fossils of Invertebrates and Reptiles. In the zoological section, mostly present are models of birds, reptiles and marine animals with a few exception of species preserved with formalin. The second floor also has a collection of Indian Paintings stretching through centuries and millenniums.

I had visited this museum nearly 20 years ago in my childhood when we didnt have the convince of snapping pictures of the artefacts on mobiles and had to be sketched on a notepad hurriedly. There are two floors full of archeological specimens of sculptures, animal as well as plant fossils, rock samples, wooden carvings of mandapam, a mummy, mesmerizing inscriptions and engraving on ivory, handloom, painting styles, coins and even collections of rare skeletons. If only the museum would appoint a guide for the audience to understand the inscribed story panel on the Buddhist stupas of barhut or at least put up audio guides describing them, then people would be more interested. The descriptions of the coin room is also very confusing as in the descriptions are difficult to read and the proper samples in crowds. Also cant they properly label the skull specimen for the visitors with shorter height to read without a neck and foot ache and cant they do their cleaning work after hours and at least put up pictures of the artefacts removed for foreign display?

Old heritage that reflects Indian history, culture & tradition. The museum building itself a heritage site. Things are displayed in separate categories in separate hall room. Somewhere “Photography Not Allowed” sign is visible and somewhere not. But if seen they will scold you even if you take a picture in the corridor or open field.Ticket price is 50 INR for adult and 500 INR for foreigners.Place for study tour, research or time passing

Nice place,,, I like it too much.. best for history lovers

Good place of ancient collection of coins, handicrafts, mummies, fossils, etc

Most Beautiful place in Kolkata

Good experience overall.. But really needs a map guide.. Visitors get lost easily.. Nobody is their to guide or to explain anything.. Actually has a lot of collection and wonderful things.. But still needs better maintainence.. I would say

My favorite of the the Indian Museum. 😘😍💘💕❤✌👍💯👌Good place. 👌👌👌👌nice place. 👍👍👍awsome .✌✌✌beautiful place. ❤ all so collection is very very very very very good. ... The Indian museum is very popular . I love my kolkata Indian museum. Ami akber giya amar khub vlo legacha.

Popular tourist spot in kolkata. Museum of British era with vast collection of artefacts. It will take 2 to 3 hours to properly go through the various monuments and artefacts. Good for bringing children. Tickets price is 50 for adults and 20 for children above 5 years. The good thing about this place is that it has a mother child care room for feeding mothers convenience. Parking is a issue, but the place is well connected by metro. Park street metro station is the nearest. Cloak room are there as personal bags are not allowed inside. Must visit place if visiting kolkata.

Good place to visit in Kolkata. So much historic and old collections can be seen there.

Love it ..Means if you love ancient things than you must be go once time ..

The oldest and largest museum of India,it is located near Park Street Metro staion.The prices of tickets for 5 years to 17 years is Rs.20 for adults is Rs.50 and for foreigners is Rs.500. There are many galleries inside the museum consisting of Archaeology,Zoology, Fossils,Ancient Egypt,Ancient Indian Sculptures, Textiles etc.If one visits Kolkata he should definitely visit the Museum. It is full of information and enjoyment.

Its a very big one and one of the best in IndiaIt takes one full day to complete it fully.

This is a place where history comes alive. The grandeur of the museum building alone is enough to invoke a feeling of awe.The collection of fossils is highly impressive. However, I feel that they should have guides here, since most of the fossils look like simple rocks, and for laypeople like me its nearly impossible to tell them apart. For example, a sign at the invertebrate gallery says that there is a fossil flower inside a particular showcase, but I couldnt find it there. Besides, it looked like nobody has even dusted the showcases in quite a long time.Putting the minor nitpicks aside, this museum is truly amazing. I couldnt recommend visiting here strongly enough.

Vistited the Indian Museum after a long time, post Lockdown & amazed again. It is open from 10.30 AM to 5.00 PM.This one of the most iconic places in Kolkata. Founded in 1814, this place carries the Legacy of British history and architecture along with uncountable amount of historical elements.A perfect place of short time spending along with family specially with children. Recommended to all visiting here!!

It is a nice museum. It is the largest and oldest museum in india 🇮🇳

Its a great place to visit. Building itself tell you their history.

The place is really ancient. Butbit is well maintained a lot. Was planning for a long time, but at last planned it and went in last month along with family. It has long courtyard wher we can sit and chill. There are multiple galleries of different types of artefacts and fossils.Looking forward to visit once more

Visit if you have time to pass or you are a tourist

Beautiful place holding history of india and the human civilization.Must visit place for everyone.

A great place to visit if you are in kolkata. Perfect for family and kids and for thise who are interested in art, history, geology and ancient culture. You need one complete day to visit this Museum. The gates open at 11:00A.M and after visiting this you can also go to the new market fir shopping, its very close to the museum.You can also do some street shopping but I do not recommend that because the rates are comparatively higher if you want to shop for very cheap rates and want to buy decent quality stuff I will recommend you to go to khidirpore fancy market. It is very close to Alipore zoo.

The Indian museum is a great place to visit with family. It is the largest museum in Asia and likewise has lots of interesting historical and scientific treasuries. However the main attraction - Zoological department of Mammals was closed. It consists of skeletons of dinosaurs and mammals which pretty clearly is the primary attention seeker. I dont know why it was closed but it should be opened as people really look forward to it. All other things were amazing, theres even 2 water filters inside the property. However, some visitors unhygienically spit in the water cooler and try to wash their sweaty faces there which is puke worthy.

Well placed but need to provide one more glass for drinking water

It is very attractive all bharatvarsh and Asia display and here are the antiques of whole of India and Asia, there is evidence of Indus Civilization, Harappa Civilization, Mosopotamia and Ice Age and here are the objects of every region from ancient times to modern India and here for the students of every region to study and Thing to observe
