One of the newest entrants on the museum scene in the city, this one has become a popular spot to take pictures with your favourite celebrities. Kolkata’s very own mini version of Madame Tussaud’s, the wax museum houses popular Bengali figures including Subhas Chandra Bose, Kazi Nazrul Islam, Jagdish Chandra Bose and, of course, Rabindranath Tagore.
Your favourite local entertainers also have wax statues of themselves at the museum: Manna Dey, actor duo Suchitra Sen and Uttam Kumar, and the prince of the city, Sourav Ganguly among others.
Entry is INR 250 which is a bargain considering you get to stand next to over 50 wax figurines. On your way out, don’t forget to stop at the souvenir shop and pick up a t-shirt or cap.
