Nehru Museum of Science & Technology in Chandrakona

Very nice place to visit especially for clearing concepts of science

Must visit with children to teach them scientific things practically.

Science experiments, old computers, photographs, etc. Timings 10:30 AM - 12:30 PM and 3:30 PM to 6:30 PM. Many printed photographs of surroundings clicked by staff and students of IIT Kharagpur displayed.

My Alma Mater - Museum beside my Department where I pursued my PhD! The place has lots of memories!

Museum was well maintained and the legacy of the historic Hijili Detention Camp was depicted in commendable manner.

The best part of this museum is most of the peace is working.

a good place to nightout w friends!

This is the place where you feel very cleanly.Inside the museum there are various kinds of amazing experiments , old machines,the effect of science and amazing photos.

Such a great museum, I have seen, And that was a wonderful moment for me, I would like to go back there again when I have time.❤️❤️😌😌

A very old monument with beautiful architecture serves as a museum.

Great view. Its maintained well and clean.

Small museum with interesting science experiments but not too different from birla museum kolkata

A wonderful place with the touch of tradition, heritage and culture

Learn more about physics....Learn physics with fun....Lots of historical things like old trains model, pirates ships model etc. U also enjoy there.

Very well maintained museum.

The amazing place consists of lots of scientific models based on gravity, mechanics, electricity etc. With few historical statutes

Nicely maintained 04.07.22

Piece of the rich history of bengal revolutionaries preserved in the walls of this museum. Must visit.

Its a free entry..no tickets required. I once went there in Independent day.....its a great place very big spacious

There is so much to explore. So many scientific instruments, working models on which u can perform experiments... Everyone should visit it once, because acquiring knowledge and experiencing are different things... And experience by experiments is unmatchable..

One of the finest tech museum in India. Has many exhibitions to fire the minds of students who are not even closely related to tech.

Wonderful museum. Really well done science experiments. Wish some of them were shown to us during college days.

Nostalgic, for a person who spent 6 years here 50+ years ago

Excellent Science, Mathematics and Technology displayed for all and especially for school students. Also very nicely organised. Explains engineering and science very well with various models. Must visit for science and engineering lovers.

Good museum inside IIT campus. Its located Hijli side, near Hijli Jail. Once u visit here, dont forget to visit Hijli Jail. Those are completely free. Though museum have lot of chance to implement 👍🏼

The old vibes around this place is amazing. Very good place to visit.

You can see the implementation of all the physics equations and mathematical calculations are also described so beautifully. One who is interested in knowing the history of computers, water and air transports plus the railways, this place is a must visit for you.Science students should also go there and experience the science concepts.

Its a really good science museum. Anyone with high school level knowledge of science will be enjoy the museum. Many attractive models of geometry, physics and many other things are there. Along with these, there is a photography gallery also. Anyone any age will love to visit this. The museum is not very big and there is no entry fee for it.

Its very good for school students to understand physics

What a pleasant place! Visiting this place is like going back in history. Even though it was a detention camp, it was only because of the vision of Nehru ji that this place spawned into a giant campus we know as IIT Kgp today, the mother of all IITs. The museum is brilliant, certainly a thousand times better than even the govt run science museums Ive seen till date. Kgpians are lucky to be living in a campus of such scientific and historical importance. A must visit for every student and their parents who come here. I was lucky enough to visit the Kgp campus in this lifetime.

Awesome working models to explain physics.... Loved it

Somewhat like science city of kolkata. Must visit if you come to kgp.

Starting from basic science up to higher science projects are demonstrated. Given importance to all fields of physics, mathematics and technology models. Good place for small children also for school and higher secondary students.

I should say it to be a science museum where you can learn things more parctically. #amazed

Great place to visit if you visit IIT kharagpur.

Its a very nice museum inside the IIT Kharagpur campus

Great place.... U can come to know much more practical perspectives about science.....

It is one of the best museum according to my opinion. It contains good science related things and anyone can gain practical knowledge by the materials here. It is situated inside the IIT Kharagpur campus and at the old building near the last end of the academic campus. you will get some important and good experimental set ups of basic things in science.The museum is very well organized. There is Hijli jail near this museum. there are two sessions in the morning and evening session during which the museum remains open.

aircraft and train at the entrance of the museum grab the attention of the visitors..!!

Nice peaceful place for a museum to be situated.. the museum is not too large in size but has many scientific apparatus and experiments inside..

If you are person who loves the practical aspect of science, trust me the place is for you.It is located in the promises of IIT Kharagpur near Ramanujan complex (Takshashila).The Nehru Museum demonstrates various types of couplers of different times.It is beautifully shown how transverse waves are generated and propagates.There are various models to do practical of theory part.There models of boat of different era are kept.The place has different models of computer from ABACUS TO SUPERCOMPUTER.Gallery shows rockets of India.Various experiments like Newtons three laws of motion,Lentzs law, Magnetic effect of current, Gravitational law,Henery law,three levels of liquid,coupled ossilation etc.Also how lighting and thunder takes place,how hyperbola is formed,how area of different geometric figures are proved.last but not the least there is a huge picture gallery of variety and variabilities of plants and animals. There is a giant fighter jet of air India kept beside the entrance of Nehru Museum.Beside It,there is central jail where our political leaders were kept for their AGITATION again British Rule.

Very nice place to learn physics in an easy and efficient way.

One of must visit places in Kharagpur. This museum is nothing less than a treasure house where you can learn loads of stuff about science, history and other subjects. The timings are very convenient. There is no amount charged to visit this place. The surroundings is just beautiful.

I went to this place on mar, 2018 while Im attending the INAE conclave. This place is awesome and there is lots of things to see here. Especially inside the IIT KGP, it takes about 3 complete days to vist entire places. The central library is one of the good place to visit. This Nehru museum has an iconic building structure and it has some good stories with our freedom fighters.If you have a free time means, i suggest you to vist this place.

Nice science museum. The place is calm and quiet. The instruments are good to understand. Although some of the instruments are not working but i think thay will repair soon. Any ways the photo collection room is very actrative it represents the whole campus of iit Kharagpur.

The Nehru Museum of Science and Technology was founded in 1990 at the Hijli Detention camp building, which is now named as Hijli Saheed Bhavan.

To see the transformation of a place from a prison cell to one of the best institute of India is truly inspiring and gives you a vision of what future should look like

A beautiful place to visit inside IIT Kgp

Good museum, situated at old IIT, Hijli Shaheed Bhaban.

During British rule it was a jail known as hijili jail...it was from here iit kgp started ...now it has been converted into museum out side the building there is body of MIG 29
