Northern India Journey - Day 31 Kolkata - 12/1/2011

It's time to count down for the trip.This is the second last day in India and the last day for the volunteering. Owing to the availability and my schedule, I could only have 2 afternoon in the charity centre to do some works for the children. In the morning, we went to the Indian Museum. The museum was a beautiful Victorian style building. The collections was massive and all-rounded. But we found that the way they preserve their treasures was a bit odd to us. They can put the antique status in an open area and exposed. We saw a mummy put inside a wooden glass-covered box with something like silica gel.

The "exposed" art

Then, we went to the house of Tagore. This was my first time to know this great Nobel prize winner poet by my friend's introduction. The house keep the whole decoration as the time when Tagore's still alive which is quiet oriental style rather then Indian way. After the visit, it's time to meet the children again.
