Life in West Bengal was badly hit by the second wave of Covid-19. All the sites along with the amusement parks were closed for almost three months. As the Covid-19 cases are getting lower, the State government has announced to reopen everything including restaurants, movie theatres.

As reported by News18, the Museum inside the Hall will open from 11 am to 6 pm for the visitors. Tickets will be available from the counter outside and can be purchased from the mobile app Book My Show.

Curator Jayanta Sengupta said, "We are ensuring that every visitor must wear musk and sanitise their hands before entering into the compound, also need to maintain social distance and follow the government guidelines."
