Lonely Planet review for Museum

Within Rabindra Bharati University, the comfortable 1784 family mansion of Rabindranath Tagore has become an extensive, shrine-like museum to India’s greatest modern poet. Even if his personal effects don’t inspire you, some of the well-chosen quotations might spark an interest in Tagore’s deeply universalist philosophy. There’s also a decent gallery of paintings by his family and contemporaries. The 1930 photo of Tagore taken with Einstein could win a ‘World’s Wildest Hair’ competition.
