    Closed since last six months as reported by locals. No official noticed anywhere. No information of expected reopening seen anywhere. No officials could be traced. Sad, that a small museum is closed for so long without assigning proper reasons to visitors.

    Located in a good locality having well constructed building. Very rich in contents with well displayed statues mostly collected from nearby places. But unfortunately local authorities are not paying any attention to attract visitors. Just one watchman is there to look after these precious collections.

    A good place . A lot of historic statue and monuments are there. Such a good place that you can visit it with your family , you can come with your friends. Teachers can also choose this place for a quick educational tour. But one thing that I experienced that this place need more facilities. Those thing are really valuable but there are no sufficient security and other things. It could me much better place with some upgradation.

    First is the lack of infrastructure, second is lack of well-educated and skilled Guide,Third is many historical monuments of Malda Dist are in state of disrepair,Fourth is the historical monuments of Malda Dist have been brought to the notice of the new generation at various levels of Govt and private sector, overall it will be nice Malda Museum decorated from inside and outside.

    A small district museum. Entry fee rs 5.00 only per person. The collection ranges from stone idols to terracota plaques as well as some manuscripts. The museum is undergoing some repair for extension, expected to be completed by october, 2019. Staffs are nice and helpful. Restroom is also there. However, no parking space for vehicles.

    Should visit this small museum just adjacent to Malda Ramakrishna Mission. Close on Thursday. Timing 10.30am to 4.30 pm. Photography not allowed inside. A few stone sculptures of Lord Shivs, Vishnu, Buddha, Surya and different forms of Devi Durga are there. Another building is opening soon. Entry fee Rs. 5.

    I went there on 11-10-2019 at 11:34 AM, it was a Friday but still it was closed. No one is there. I read the reviews about Malda district Musium, want to verify but it was not possible due to the same reason. First there is no communication from the core of the City Rathbari more or Malda Town railway station.

    Malda Museum is an archaeological museum under the West Bengal Directorate of Archaeology, situated on the Bandh Road of Malda Town. The museum took off initially as a collection of historic artifacts found within the district within the premises of the District Library. It was then shifted to a new adjacent building of its own and granted the status of a museum in its own right under the State Directorate of Archaeology. Though Malda Town itself came up only in the times of British colonial rule, the region had been the seat of power of Bengal since the 7th century. till the late 16th century when the nearby Gour and Pandua served as the capital cities of the entire Bengal region. The museum, renovated and revamped recently, showcases the archaeological, anthropological, and historical heritage of the region. The museum has a number of fine specimens of sculptures, figurines, calligraphic inscription tablets, terracotta plaques and other artifacts that represent more than 1500 years of history and heritage.

  • 3/5 Chinmoy Kumar B. 2 years ago on Google • 67 reviews
    You can't deny that district based museum is not easy to establish. Likewise it has come up to present form from very rudimentary form to an envious block of collection of sculptures mainly, along with a few numismatics in half finished shelves. They are mostly from mid fifteenth century (Rukunuddin Barbak Shah). But excepting that all sculptures belong to pre-sultanate era ie 9th to 12th century. And lo, those are the feast for the eyes; after seeing massive post twelveth century monuments, mostly mosques these intricate galore of works shows abundance of artistic excellence of Senas, Palas because I have not seen anything older than eighth century and of about 40 statues only three are of Lord Buddha from 8th to 11th Pala rule. Others are all from both Pala, Sena, with brief Chola and Deba dynasty. They say till date many such exquisite sculptures are found in ponds and lakes, anybody can guess how many of them are destroyed and how many palaces, temples and forts are demolished by ruthless invaders. Nevertheless, for those who have realized the facts of history this oasis of revived proud history Indian rulers is solace for bruised heart.

    Very beautiful one thing I was wondering about there was an Icon of goddess Gauri but iconography was from north western part of india not typically eastern (samarangana sutra) but found here during excavation perhaps it was cultural exchange between palas and pratiharas. There should be a book about artefacts found from this region it will help more to get the infos about the artefacts

  • 1/5 Atif H. 4 years ago on Google
    Not a visit worthy place, location is very remote. Reaching this place is a sort of task (car bigger than Maruti Swift would really struggle to negotiate in the narrow lanes). No parking facility. Not well maintained, housekeeping is poor. The caretaker cum housekeeper wearing only langot was busy in housekeeping with broom even at 10:30 AM. A kid around 5 years old came with ticket booklet and the caretaker asked us to fill up names and pay the fare ₹ 5/- per head.

    Absolutely disappointing. Went there well before the closing time to see a person closing the gates. Did not open the gates even after requesting (although that is within visiting hour). No curator was present. Absolutely rubbish. How can a museum run like this?
