A special place in museum life is occupied by the Museum of India, founded near Calcutta in 1814 by the Danish biologist Nathaniel Wellish. Since its foundation, the museum preserves collections formed in the XIX century and presents important materials on the natural history, history and ethnography of the region; among the exhibits there are rare samples and archival finds that allow you to feel the spirit of colonial science and local studies. There are also small collections and historical displays around the city that complement the cultural heritage of West Bengal.
The museum life of Calcutta is dynamic: temporary exhibitions, educational programs and imported projects regularly appear in the funds and exhibition halls, which update the focus of the story about the city and the region. Specific dates and names of events depend on annual posters, so it is worth watching the announcements of museums and cultural centers, so as not to miss interesting exhibitions and special programs.
