Artefacts

Dr Biswajit Roy, Assistant Professor at Pijush Kanti Mukherjee Mahavidyalaya, West Bengal, with the help of villagers, has preserved ancient historical relics in the Debagram Museum in the village.

Kelkar’s passion for the artefacts was not limited to a time period nor to one form of an item. By 1960, he had collected more than 21,000 items—ranging from pots to instruments and paintings to daggers.

The only thing that can match Aditya Vij’s odd and diverse collection of artefacts is his equally unconventional personality. The museum in his residence houses many items that history buffs would love to get their hands on – from an enviable comics collection to 13 vintage cars
