Bose Institute Museum

Tourist attraction Museum

😠 Disheartened by unprofessional and tourist hostile behaviour of security and care takers of the museum...absence of majority of the staffs lead to late opening and partial opening of majority of the rooms of the museum. Sad to have poor experience to such an important learning hub. People often mention Bose, great, museum, science,

    A great place to learn about the life and work of J C Bosh. The authority should spend a little bit more resources to preserve the artifacts in their original state - as they have for R N Tagore.

    The Bose Institute or the Basu Bigyan Mandir is situated on Acharya Prafulla Chandra Road. *While going towards Manicktala, the Institute falls on the left hand side, just adjacent to Acharya Bhavan. Right at this moment, only the ground floor of the Institute is open for visitors. The first floor is under renovation. The history behind setting up this science institute by Jagadish Chandra Bose is very important and interesting at the same time. The whole timeline is put up there in a museum setup. Various scientific apparatus, research papers and lifetime achievements of JC Bose are handled with care and safeguarded in a proper way. People and children can find this place as a treasure island, as it provides so much information and knowledge under one roof. It felt like u boarded a time machine and reached the golden era of India's advancement in the sphere of science. Not only India, it also showcases global advancement in science. But alas, the place is very less visited by people as it is a really very underrated place. It's a great place to spend an hour or two. 🚫Photography prohibited inside the building 🚫 Timings: Saturday Closed Sunday Closed Monday 10 am–4 pm Tuesday 10 am–4 pm Wednesday 10 am–4 pm Thursday 10 am–4 pm Friday 10 am–4 pm Totally recommended ❤️
