Nehru Children Museum Kolkata

The Nehru Children's Museum, Kolkata located at the heart of Kolkata is undoubtedly the best gift to the children of Kolkata as well as India. This museum is unique by virtue of the fact that it is meant exclusively for children and was conceived inspired by a visionary statesman - Late Shri Jugal Srimal.

Thus, Nehru Children Museum, Kolkata was set inspired by the pioneering zeal of Late Shri Jugal Srimal in the year 1972, to usher in a qualitative change in the way children learn. The museum was aptly dedicated to the late Prime Minister of India - Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru or Chacha Nehru as the children of India popularly referred to him.
