The Sabarna Roy Choudhary family is one of the well known families of Bengal since many centuries and it was logical that their rich heritage was aptly preserved and displayed through the Sabarna Sangrahashala, a museum designed, developed and maintained by Sabarrna Roy Choudhary Paribar Parishad. The museum boasts of a grand collection rare articles and historical documents dating back to 18th century.

The reading room is full of old books and documents which hold wealth of information regarding Bengal and India as well. Numerous antic articles such as the metal Hookah (1878 make) candle stand (1795) and a grinding wheel (1845) adorn the museum alongwith the star attraction which is a huge earthen rice pot with a capacity of 240kgs of grain dating 1843.
