নেতাজি ভবন Netāji Bhobon
A heritage building maintained as a memorial and research centre to the life of the Indian nationalist Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose. Netaji's bedroom was on the first floor, shared with his father. Netaji's footsteps from the bedroom to the outside as part of the Great Escape of 1941 are also painted here, where he escaped from house arrest to gather foreign support for the Indian independence movement. The museum also showcases the car that Netaji's nephew drove him all the way to Gomoh, along with a collection of rare photographs, letters, and Netaji's clothes. There's a small bookshop with different publications by the Netaji Bureau, along with the recordings of Netaji's speeches.
The former home of the Indian freedom activist and the first Education Minister of India, Maulana Abul Kalam Azad. Maulana Azad's work interpreting the mystic Sarmad, a member of Prince Dara Shikoh's court, is also a cornerstone of the secular tradition in India. The museum is replete with narrations of his life, times, work, personal archives, and belongings.
