About Mother House in Kolkata
Mother House at 54A AJC Bose Road in Kolkata is the headquarters of the Missionaries of Charity, the order Mother Teresa founded in 1950. The order grew into a worldwide network of homes for the dying, the destitute and the abandoned, and she received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979; she died at the house in September 1997 and was canonised in 2016. The building is a working convent rather than a museum with a ticket desk: sisters live here, pray here and run the order's affairs from here. Visitors come for Mother Teresa's tomb in the main chapel, her preserved room and a small museum about the order's work. The chapel is open to visitors rather than roped off, with no barrier between the aisle and the tomb, so a short queue usually moves quickly. The setting is plain and the room is quiet, a place of active worship as much as a monument, where visitors speak in murmurs and give way to anyone praying. Hours are limited, the house has closed on Thursdays, so confirm before travelling; allow about an hour.
