The large General Post Office building is unmissable, yet most people are unaware of the little red museum tucked away on the side. It recounts the tale of former postal workers who fought off tigers and bandits while running great distances to deliver letters while brandishing knives! His Shantiniketan passbook has stamps, letters, and other items like Tagore's actual autograph. Usually present, the museum guide is delighted to show you everything. Khukris, or knives, of various sizes that the runners carried for self-defence against bandits are also on show in the museum. A clay figure illustrates how runners would frequently lose their lives while performing their professions and would even have to deal with tigers.
