It is currently located on the Rabindra Bharati University campus at 6/4 Dwarakanath Tagore Lane^[1] Jorasanko, Kolkata 700007.^[2] It is the house in which the poet and first non-European Nobel laureate, Rabindranath Tagore

was born. It is also the place where he spent most of his childhood and died on 7 August 1941.

Background

The museum offers details about the history of the Tagore family including its involvement with the Bengal Renaissance and the Brahmo Samaj.^[4]
