The Indian Museum in Kolkata, built in 1814, is one of the three major museums in India. The Egyptian Museum inside is quite good, and you can see the mummified authenticity of 4,000 years ago.
Kolkata, India, you are not very big to the museum. This museum is charged. In fact, many tourist attractions in India have two fares for Indians and foreigners. The museum's exhibits are related to Buddhism, and most of them are sculptures of Buddha statues. Talk about the path next to the museum, you can see an open-air toilet on the road, this is a male toilet, if it is a boy, you may wish to try the open-air solution.
Nice , Been there
This is a museum of art and archaeology, and archaeological exhibits are particularly rich. Maybe I've seen too many museums. In fact, I prefer museum buildings to Museum collections. Italian-style buildings, white exterior walls, small gardens inside, look very fresh and elegant.
The environment is very good, the taste is great, I am about to choke, it is a good place for dinner

Calcutta, Indian Museum, in order to see the Buddha's Shrine, the door opened at 10 o'clock, but the Buddhist exhibition room did not open. After communicating with managers, people immediately arranged to open the door. After my visit, I was also specially asked to take me to visit the Balhout Shrine Tower Gate, full of goodwill. 1. Buddha's relics, found in Piprawa archaeology, are two pieces in sheet shape. 2. The sarcophagus was discovered in Piprawa Archaeology, and Buddha's religion was enshrined in the sarcophagus. 3. Balhut Tower Gate. 4. The story of Buddha's birth, King Deer. One day the king was hunting, and a thousand deer were trapped in a hunting net. At that time, the Buddha who was still in his place was the king of deer. A thousand deer were divided into two groups and each led by five hundred deer. Seeing that the deer herd would be destroyed, the deer King consoled the deer and agreed with the king to offer a deer to the king every day in exchange for the survival of the deer herd. One day, it was the turn of a female deer to be sacrificed. The female deer asked for help from the Deer. She said that there was a fast-born deer in her belly, hoping to avoid death, but she was refused by the Deer. The deer only got better and prayed to the deer king. After hearing this, the deer king came to the palace instead of the deer. When the king asked the deer king what he had done, he said - "Because the king agreed to kill only one head a day, so that the herd of deer could be preserved. Today, the king kills the deer, which is equal to killing both mother and son, so he will die instead of the deer. " At this time, the king deeply reflected on himself, because of the desire to kill innocent people indiscriminately, is not as reasonable as the deer king. Instead of killing the deer king, he ordered officials throughout the country to prohibit deer hunting, and put the deer king and herd back into the deer forest, after which the deer herd lived safely in the deer forest.
