The restored garage and vintage car of Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore at Jorasanko Thakur Bari here were inaugurated on Wednesday and opened to the public following a seven-month conservation project.

According to the project organisers, the garage and the vintage vehicle had been lying in a dilapidated condition for years. The structure had suffered damage to its roof, walls and flooring, while vegetation had overgrown the site. The vintage automobile had also shown signs of severe neglect.
