The Marble Palace, situated at 46 Muktaram Babu Street in Kolkata, is a grand 19th-century mansion built in neoclassical style. It boasts an impressive collection of art and artifacts, including paintings by renowned artists such as Rubens and Sir Joshua Reynolds. The opulent mansion features a variety of Victorian furniture, chandeliers, clocks, mirrors, and more.
The house was built in 1835 by Raja Rajendra Mullick, a wealthy Bengali merchant with a passion for collecting works of art. The house continues to be a residence for his descendants, and the current occupants are the family of Raja Rajendra Mullick Bahadur. Raja Rajendra Mullick was the adopted son of Nilmoni Mullick, who built a Jagannath temple which predates Marble Palace, and still stands within the premises, but is only accessible to members of the family.
