The main attraction of Mangpoo, a Tagore museum. In the past, when the road from 'Sixth-and-a-half Mile' to Mangpoo was muddy, Tagore was carried in a man-bearing palanquin. That palanquin was laid idle when, later, a better road was built; still, you will see that very palanquin in the Rabindra Bhavan museum. Besides other things, many facsimile copies of Tagore manuscripts, paintings, his writing table, and even coloured pots are preserved for the exhibition.
The Rabindra Museum is a museum located in Mungpoo, near Kalimpong, in the state of West Bengal, India. Poet Rabindranath Tagore stayed in this house in 1938 and 1939, at the invitation of poet and novelist Maitreyi Devi, the wife of quinologist dr. M.M.Sen.
