Lonely Planet review

The extraordinarily grand 1853 Marble Palace Mansion is indulgently overstuffed with statues and lavishly floored with marble inlay. Yet its fine paintings droop in their dusty frames and the antique furniture is haphazardly draped in torn old dust sheets. It would make a great horror-movie set.

Although admission is technically free, guards, 'guides' and even the toilet monitor are expectant of tips. Importantly, before visiting you need to get a permission note from either West Bengal Tourism or India Tourism. However, some travellers report bribing their way in without one.
