    Historically very significant spot. Here, the French governor schemed the fight against British in this palace, when you visit.

    The museum has small but quite good collection of French and British history of Chandannagar. It treasures books, letters, paintings, photographs, furnitures, newspaper cuttings which depict the rich history of Chandannagar. The Dupleix Palace reflects magnificent French architecture.

    Incredibly beautiful. Entering the museum immediately gets one into the past. The Duplex Palace and the museum are same. French colonial history is described there. Please ensure the museum is open before visiting. It remains closed on Saturday and Thursday as per the notice board there.

    This museum is a deception and a scam. Donโ€™t waste your time trying to visit it, unless you want to admire an eternally closed gate, a rusty chain and a rusty padlock. All information on the internet and at the entrance are false: false phone number, false email address, false days and opening hours. It seems that โ€œresponsibleโ€ people are too lazy to come to work. I came many times to this place, even one time from Kokata, when i was announced to be open by the museum cheaters, but it was every time closed. It is really outrageous to make fun of visitors like this. In addition, it seems that because of the stupid anti-photo superstition, it is forbidden to introduce a camera and even a mobile phone (no doubt they are ashamed of the poor layout and the miserable conservation of objects, unworthy of the A.S.I.). It is urgent to expel the current staff and replace them with serious people.

    This museum is the erstwhile official residence of the French Governer of Chandannagar province. A long line of Governors is said to have passed through the portals of this colonnaded mansion. It is maintained well, with pretty gardens and a statue of the Marianne (the national symbol of France) located right next to the entrance. The museum has a French language institute within its premises. It has an interesting collection of French memorabilia, that gives you an insight into the French rule in these parts.
