Netaji Research Bureau, in the Netaji Bhawan in Kolkata, has established the Netaji Museum in 1961. Sarat Chandra Bose dedicated this house on 23rd January 1947 for nation`s service. This is a completely organized biographical museum, dedicated to the life of Netaji with a huge quantity of materials related to him. The museum has things collected from all over the world that has connections with Netaji. Netaji has always been the curiosity of the people firstly due to his contributions and secondly due to his mysterious disappearance, which has, many myths associated with him. Hence this house has been attracting large crowd of people since the day it was opened to the public as the house. The house is overwhelmed with visitors, during Netaji Birthday week, in January.

The Nataji house from outside looks exactly like a typical Bengali household. It has traditional pillars and porticos, a marble plaque bearing the name of J.N.Bose, Netaji`s father in the entrance of the house. There is a replica in the main portico, which has the motto "Ittefaq", "Itmad", "Korbani" inscribed on it. As we go up to Netaji`s bedroom on the first floor, we find things belonging to him and his family in order. Like his father`s large bed, his own cot, clothes, clock, ayurvedic medicines, shoes and Gita. The room beside it stocks certain things and furniture that have been used by his elder brother, Sarat Chandra Bose.

Numerous documents, photographs and articles relating to Netaji`s life and work are arranged in systematic and chronological order in the top floor of the house. All that evokes nostalgia among the vistors, which is very much reminiscent of the life in the house. This floor has been modernized and given an a special look with lightening and special effects. Here among the things exhibited, his original passports and some curios brought by him from Burma are among the most valuable exhibits, other than the ones like a page from Janakinath`s diary recording Subhas`s birth on 23 January 1897. The pictures and letters depict Subhas`s gradual growing years from a child to a student at Cambridge, then his life as a prisoner dedicated Swarajist, prisoner at Mandalay, at Mandalay and G.O.C. of the Volunteer Corps at Calcutta in 1928.
