Netaji Bhawan, Historical museum in Bhowanipore, Kolkata, India.
Netaji Bhawan is a museum building in Bhowanipore that preserves the life and political work of Subhas Chandra Bose. The rooms display photographs, letters, documents, and objects that show different periods of his struggle and personal journey.
The house was where Bose lived until his dramatic escape from house arrest in 1941 to continue his independence movement abroad. After the war ended, the building was converted into a museum to preserve his political legacy for future generations.
The building reflects how Subhas Chandra Bose remains central to India's independence story and how the community preserves his memory. Walking through the rooms, you sense how deeply his struggle for freedom shaped local identity and pride.
The museum is located on Lala Lajpat Rai Sarani and spreads across several floors, each with different exhibition areas. Starting from the ground level and moving upward helps you follow the story in a natural way as you explore.
The upper-floor room where Bose spent his final days before leaving in 1945 still holds its original furniture and personal belongings. Standing there gives you a direct sense of how he lived during that crucial moment in his life.
