This is one place you have to visit if you love and respect Mother Theresa.We can see what a simple place she lived in (her room). We can also see how her followers keep up the work she started. Don't miss this place. More

Whatever your beliefs be, a visit to the Mother house leaves you with a good feeling. The museum is very informative. Do not miss even if you have only a couple of minutes, pay a visit. More
