Lonely Planet review for Motherhouse
The Missionaries of Charity’s Motherhouse can be entered from the first alley north of Ripon St. Pilgrims arrive here regularly to pay homage at Mother Teresa’s large, sober tomb. Exhibits in a small adjacent museum include Teresa’s worn sandals and battered enamel dinner-bowl. Located upstairs, the ‘Mother’s room’ where she worked and slept from 1953 to 1997, is preserved in all its simplicity with a crown-of-thorns placed above her modest camp bed.
