What people say, in short
Marble Palace is a hidden-gem mansion in North Kolkata that commenters recommend for its marble sculptures, chandeliers, vases and exotic birds, with a small zoo opposite. One visitor found the interiors beautiful but says indoor photography is not allowed and parts of the palace are poorly maintained, and suggests it only if you have a spare hour nearby rather than as a must-see. Entry requires a valid ID, and another commenter notes you need prior permission from the India Tourism office on Shakespeare Sarani.
