A visit to the Indian Museum enabled the students to do so. The trip to Alipore Jail Museum diversified understanding of the museum and how it caters to different ideas of the preservation of heritage. The Jail Museum served as an important site to comprehend how a museum can also be about a particular period and type of history.

This further served as a source of inspiration for this generation.
