Oz heritage team in Kolkata

A three-member heritage delegation from Australia is visiting Kolkata to participate in a joint forum with the J C Bose Trust on converting Acharya Bhavan to a National Science Heritage Museum.
Acharya Bhavan, the 110-year-old home of scientist Jagadish Chandra Bose, was built in 1902 and stands as a reflection of the Indian scientific endeavours as well as a historic site that has hosted Rabindranath Tagore, Swami Vivekananda and Mahatma Gandhi.
The museum is currently open on a limited basis to the public and the Indian Ministry for Culture had announced that it will be converted to a National Science Heritage Museum.

Australian High Commissioner to India Patrick Suckling said, "I am delighted at this collaboration since it encompasses two significant areas of bilateral cooperation, science and culture.
