    the museum is about Dr. William Carey , the founder of the Serampore College. the building's name is Carey library and research centre in short CLRC. it has a library having the books mainly in theology. it's a three storied building. in the 1st floor there are hand written letters by Carey, furnitures used by Carey and more valuable things. it is a historical place. people come across the world to see the museum and are doing research. at the top floor there is a AC auditorium , where seminars are organised. the museum is well maintained by the authority of Serampore College.

    It is a museum of William Carey which has the India's first translated printings and his instruments. You will find the Museum inside the Serampore University(First degree college of India) Premises itself. Note: Photography is prohibited inside the museum. People would be friendly there. They have shown us Carey House, in which the Principal of University stays. You can also visit Serampore Baptist Church and tomb of William Carey and his wives.

    Central is the location for a museum dedicated to the work of the pioneer missionary, William Carey, who was instrumental in the formation of the Baptist Missionary Society. There are two universities in the USA bearing Carey’s name. The William Carey University of Pasadena California and the William Carey University of Mississippi. Visitors are welcomed from all over the world. Recently from Singapore, South Korea , Australia , and recently a group of Bishops from India including graduates from Serampore University, founded by Carey in 1820. There is a Blue Plaque commemorating William Carey in the entrance arch at the Holiday Inn, which stands on the site of the old Harvey Lane Church and Carey’s Cottage. In the Hotel lobby is an explanatory panel describing Carey’s work. If you would like to know more about the William Carey Museum, which is open to view every Sunday or other times by prior arrangement.
