New Tourism Museum: George Orwell’s Birthplace

New Tourism Museum: George Orwell’s Birthplace

Although George Orwell was born in India, he lived there only a year before he was brought back to England by his mother. The house where he was born in 1903 in Motihari in Bihar state has fallen into a sorry state but yesterday the Bihar government announced that it would restore the house as a tourist attraction. The project would be completed in just 3 months.

Why mention this when there are so many other things happening in tourism?

For one thing it surprised me that there is no Orwell Museum in the UK. (unless you know differently)
