It’s a beautiful and majestic structure, but unfortunately, it was closed for renovations when we arrived. Hopefully can visit it the next time we are in town.

Best place to get to know about various art and craft materials. You will just feel in love with the collections from all around the world. Beautiful ambience, greenery all around with some melodious sound of birds. A small zoo is also there , though it has only a collection of some birds.

A must see for every tourist who visits Kolkata. Get to see the opulence in the lifestyle of the rich zamindars (land owners) of medieval Bengal. The Palace houses exquisite paintings, artefacts, furnishings, chandeliers, etc. Wonderful architecture. There is a well kept garden where there are swans, and many other species of birds. Race horses are bred. The owners, the Mullick family still live in the building. The Palace is open to visitors.

Marble Palace is a palatial nineteenth-century mansion in North Kolkata. It is located at 46, Muktaram Babu Street, Kolkata 700007. It is one of the best-preserved and most elegant houses of nineteenth-century Calcutta.[1] The mansion is famous for its marble walls, floors, and sculptures, from which it derives its name. The house is Neoclassical in style, while the plan with its open courtyards is largely traditional Bengali. Adjacent to the courtyard, there is a thakur-dalan, or place of worship for members of the family. The three-story building has tall fluted Corinthian pillars and ornamented verandas with fretwork and sloping roofs, built in the style of a Chinese pavilion. The premises also include a garden with lawns, a rock garden, a lake and a small zoo. Marble Palace houses many Western sculptures, pieces of Victorian furniture, paintings by European and Indian artists, and other artifacts. Decorative objects include large chandeliers, clocks, floor to ceiling mirrors, urns, and royal busts. The house is said to contain two paintings by Peter Paul Rubens, The Marriage of St. Catherine and The Martyrdom of St. Sebastian. There are also said to be two paintings by Sir Joshua Reynolds, The Infant Hercules Strangling the Serpent and Venus and Cupid. Other artists said to figure in the collections include Titian, Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, and John Opie.
