The West Bengal Forest School Museum, located in the woods of the Dow Hill in Kurseong features some rare collections of animal skins, bones and hides, selection of models, photographs of certain fauna of the forest regions, other forest produces and artifacts but in a state of concern. Some of the rare woody specimen have already started showing signs of deterioration. I learn from various reviews that this is not something new and do not also understand the reason for such negligence.

First, this is not in Darjeeling. Its in Dow Hill, Kurseong. TripAdvisor needs to fix the location. The museum is not too far from the Deer Park. Its a two storied building with nice and wide variety of specimens. Its a great place for those interested in wild life specimens. Sadly, the upkeep is not that great. We also noticed signs of deterioration. This is rather unfortunate as the museum could have been much better maintained and show cased. On the way out, don't forget to take a stroll through the nearby adjoining park ( not deer park ). It has nice flora and great specimens of trees. Also a very nice look out place with views of the valley.
