Anand Bhavan Museum

Anand Bhavan Museum, also known as Netaji Birth Place Museum, is located in Oriya Bazar, Cuttack, Odisha. It is the ancestral house where Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose was born on 23 January 1897. Converted into a museum and managed by the Netaji Birth Place Museum Trust, it preserves personal belongings, photographs, letters and furniture associated with the Bose family and displays the early life history of Netaji.

Visitors can expect a restored two-storey heritage house with period architecture, galleries displaying personal artifacts, photographs, documents, letters, and furniture used by the Bose family. The museum includes the room where Netaji was born, exhibits on his childhood and family history, and informative displays. The setting is within a residential area of Cuttack with a small courtyard and curated indoor exhibition spaces.

Anand Bhavan was built by Janakinath Bose, father of Subhas Chandra Bose, and is the birthplace of Subhas Chandra Bose who was born here on 23 January 1897. The house served as the family residence during his early childhood. It was later converted into a museum dedicated to his life and was inaugurated as Netaji Birth Place Museum to preserve the heritage structure and associated memorabilia.

The museum is a significant heritage and cultural site in Odisha commemorating the early life of a prominent national figure. It preserves Bengali-Odia domestic architecture and family traditions of the early 20th century and serves as an educational centre for visitors interested in regional history and heritage.
