Founded in July 1942, just a year after the Poet"s death, Rabindra-Bhavana is an important component of Visva-Bharati. It is, in fact, the focal point of the University. This Bhavana includes among its treasures a very major part of Tagore"s manuscripts, correspondences, paintings and sketches. The poet"s personal library is here and various objects used by him, his voice-recordings and thousands of photograph taken of him at different times and places and the many gifts, honours and addresses which he received from different parts of the world have enriched the Bhavana"s archival holdings. The holding in the archives section include several hundred manuscript volumes and files of the works of Rabindranath in Bengali and English. Detailed description of all items in the archives is provided in the Catalogue-in-progress. 1018 volumes of manuscripts, correspondences(1471 files) and other materials may be consulted by bonafide scholars in the original or in microfilm in the archives section with the approval of the Director, Rabindra-Bhavana. The museum housed in the Bhavana, comprising of a permanent display section and the five homes lived in by Tagore, collectively referred to as the Uttarayan Complex, attracts thousands of visitors. The architecture of the houses, the interior decoration, the pieces of furniture strewn about the rooms bring to life the persona of Tagore. This unit of Rabindra-Bhavana has 1580 original paintings of Rabindranath and 554 by others. The photograph collection (11380), the curio collection (3855) and 52 statues. The collection of addresses and certificates also form important sections of this unit. A detailed and descriptive list of the paintings and their items in the museum unit has been serially published in the Catalogue-in-progress. An important aspect of Bhavana activities is to mount exhibitions in "Vichitra". Drawing upon its own rich collection of photographs and other memorabilia, exhibitions depicting different themes from the poet"s life, are held regularly throughout the year.

Rabindra Bhavana was a great place to visit. There is a museum of collected and precious things of Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore. The houses of Rabindranath Tagore's are also present here but those are restricted for entry... The scenario and heritage of this beautiful place cannot be described in words...

Photography is not allowed inside. Very well maintained place. Definitely worth to visit. Only two floors. More items on 1st floor. Ground floor has gallery with informations regarding Tagore dynasty members. The replica of Nobel prize is on 1st floor. There are his received gifts from Japan, China, personal cutlery, family tree, wearables on 1st floor. His spectacles are on ground floor. At back of the main building, there are several houses for his personal stay. Here I saw his car, a Japanese style villa, huge courtyard.
