Built in 1835 by zamindar and art connoisseur Raja Rajendra Mullick, the palace is now a private museum. Spend your afternoon among precious objects d'art, including works of Rubens and Sir Joshua Reynolds. A real garden, of maybe an acre with a Palladian Mansion, set square in the centre. Today this palace has an incongruous collection of statues and paintings. There is also a private zoo housing a collection of birds from different corners of the world.
Marble Palace is a palatial nineteenth-century mansion in North Kolkata. It is located at 46, Muktaram Babu Street, Kolkata 700007. It is one of the best-preserved and most elegant houses of nineteenth-century Calcutta. The mansion is famous for its marble walls, floors, and sculptures, from which it derives its name.
