The Indian Museum in Kolkata is the earliest and the largest multipurpose Museum in the Asia-Pacific region with rare collections of antiques, armour and ornaments, fossils, skeletons, mummies, and Mughal paintings. It was founded by the Asiatic Society of Bengal in Kolkata in 1814.

It houses over 60 galleries and is divided into six prime sectors - Anthropology, Art, Geology, Archaeology, Zoology and Industry, and is located within five minutes walking distance from The Oberoi Grand Kolkata.
