Sauntering into India's only 'boat museum', you will be struck by several things at once. No entry fee, no guide, no photography allowed, and a display of models of miniature boats that once plied along the rivers of Bengal. Located in Kankurgachhi, a busy neighbourhood on the eastern fringe of Kolkata, is the Institute of Cultural Research with four one-roomed galleries on the ground floor, of which the Boat Museum is one.
