Indian Museum

Today we went into Kolkata and went to the Indian Museum. Its massive. I didn't go through even half of it, but I did go through the archeology, geogolgy, anthropology, painting, coin, and carving sections. The first two were not really my thing, but the rest was really kool. I imagine I'll go back a few times to look at the rest of the museum. There isn't very much information, just lots to look at. Compared to museums in the US, it isn't very well put together, but its supposed to be one of India's best museums. More for the collection than the presentation, I imagine. The carvings were really amazing, they ranged back to like 500 AD. India has so much more history than the US.
After the museum, we went to the Oxford Bookstore for awhile. I love that place. Then we went to a really nice restaraunt on Park Street and had a delicious lunch. After that, I headed back to Khardah and read for awhile before coming here.
Back to school tomorrow. Next week we have off because of Durga Puja.
