Alipore Independence Museum, Independence museum in Alipore, India
The museum exhibits present detailed accounts of India's freedom movement through photographs, artifacts, documents, and personal belongings of revolutionaries who were imprisoned here.
Originally built as Alipore Central Jail in 1906, the facility detained numerous freedom fighters during British colonial rule, including associates of Mahatma Gandhi.
Multiple galleries within the converted jail hospital building showcase the contributions of Bengal presidency revolutionaries through exhibits, paintings, and educational displays.
The museum features an audio guide system, organized tours, and a dedicated space for evening light and sound shows near the former hospital building.
The preserved prison cells bear names of notable leaders who were detained here, while the courtyard maintains its original structure where Indira Gandhi met her father.
