Visit to Indian Museum

Sunday 15th Jan 2012, with friends Abdul and Aftab I visited Indian Museum located at Park Street in Kolkata. This was my third visit and this time also I didn't visited all galleries because we were tired.To visit all galleries it may take more than 2 hours.

We started from Archaeology gallery and tired after visiting Art gallery.While there are lots of specimens which are very rare, but maintenance is rather poor. Whole building is covered up with dust and colored with "Pan Pichkari" .

Out of all galleries, gallery related to History is clean. I personally like History gallery specially stone sculptures and coins of Ancient India.
Founded by Dr. Nathaniel Wallich and established on 1814, Indian Museum was previously located at Asiatic society(1,Park Street) which was later moved to 27, Jawaharlal Nehru Rd,Park Street.

Those who haven't visited the place, a visit is will be life experience.
