BITM is one of the most unique science museums in India. It boasts of various exhibits and a well stocked library. The best part is the under ground coal mine which really depicts the dangers and rigours of working in a coal mine. Definitely worth a visit especially for the kids in school. More

I would request all Science students to atleast watch the place once in their lifetime. I have been to almost all place of Kolkata, but I found BITM as the best and most informative place in the heart of Kolkata, even much better than Science City and Indian Museum. More
