JC Bose Science Heritage Museum
Acharya Bhaban, the historical residence of Acharya and Lady Bose built in 1902 is located at 93 A P C Road, Kolkata 700009 and is a rich repository of their personalia and memorabilia.
In 1902, Acharya Jagadis Chandra Bose (1858 -1937) built his residential house “Acharya Bhaban” at 93, Upper Circular Road (now 93, Acharya Prafulla Chandra Road), Kolkata 700009. Acharya Bose and Lady Abala Bose lived out their lives in this house. In a life spanning from 1858 to 1937 and encompassing the Renaissance era in the Arts, Culture and the Sciences in Bengal, Acharya Bose ardently pursued scientific ideas that were 60 years ahead of his time. Equally important were his interests in art, literature and philosophy.
