The Rabindra Bharati Museum, also called Jorasanko Thakurbari, was founded in 1961 as a museum at the renowned Tagore family's ancestral home. It was constructed north of Kolkata in the 18th century by Prince Dwarkanath Tagore, the grandfather of poet and Nobel winner Rabindranath Tagore. Great writings and artefacts by poet Rabindranath Tagore and other writers from that era are on display in the museum. This enormous 35,000-square-metre space is where the author and Nobel Prize laureate for literature passed away. A number of the mansion's portions have been classified based on his international travels. It will undoubtedly evoke many memories if you read his poetry and prose as a child. Do not forget to stay back for the Light and Sound Show in the Thakurbari courtyard that comes after this.
