Recent reviews

The art collection is excellent. The collection is so huge that it's difficult to do justice in one day. The staff is very helpful and guides the visitors appropriately. In addition, I am thankful to the AIC authority for beautifully maintaining the Fullerton hall since all Indians are emotionally attached to the 1893 event when Swami Vivekanand delivered a lecture and the hall was Columbus hall , now renamed as Fullerton Hall.
