Say Hello To A 4,000-Year-Old Egyptian Mummy

The information in this post might be outdated

This fascinating museum is also known as Jadu Ghar (house of magic) as it will instantly transport your little ones to a magical land with its surreal collection of artefacts. One of its most enduring attractions is a 4000-year-old Egyptian Mummy that had been shipped to Kolkata in 1882. As a matter of fact Egyptian Mummies are rarely found outside the native country and Indian Museum happens to be one of the very few museums in the world that has the honour of housing this special guest. If your kiddo is a movie buff, then watch him gape at the mammoth, saber tooth and much more from the Ice Age days. Jurassic Park fans can explore dinosaur skeletons and remains of their eggs. While exhibits of giant crocodiles and scary-looking creatures long extinct will leave them rapt.
