The Calcutta Gallery
The Calcutta Gallery
"The Calcutta Gallery" dedicated to our Eternal City is a pictorial journey down the hallowed pathways of the industrial and business history of Kolkata.
The transformation of three villages by the Hooghly into a colossal metropolis is fascinating or inspiring and magical.
The Gallery is the first of its kind which portrays 325 years' glorious history of Calcutta through a rare collection
of photographs of the iconic City. The Gallery is housed at the Chamber premises.
On the occasion of The Bengal Chamber's AGM on 14th September 2016, "The Calcutta Gallery" was inaugurated by
Dr. Amit Mitra, Hon'ble Minister-in-Charge, Commerce & Industries, Finance & Excise, Industrial Reconstruction & Public Enterprises, Govt. of West Bengal.
