When I first announcedmy intention of going to Kolkata, Sudha said, �Whatever you do, don�t miss the Indian Museum!� I must confess that, till then, I hadn�t heard of the Indian Museum. I knew there were many museums in Kolkata, and I had every intention of seeing as many as I could, but why specifically the Indian Museum? �Because it was the first museum in India� she replied, �and this is the museum where all discoveries from various excavations were first brought, and later on, given to other museums.� That settled it. I didn�t need any more reasons to be convinced.
