A family type house filled with marvelous wooden sculptures carved and made perfect out of fossilized tree roots mostly found and brought from Andaman island. The hard work and patience rendered by the sole curator and owner, a woman of highest prestige, are extremely appreciated.
It was a very interesting visit. The curator, Mrs. Punnoose is very passionate about her work and you can feel it in her animated explanations of the collection. Worth visiting as it only takes an hour. Entry fee 100₹
A good collection of driftwood fossils. Well sculpted by pressure under the ocean floor with beating waves and changes in nature. These are broken tree branches that are fossilized and hardened to be stone hard and preserved for centuries. These fossils have natural shapes and forms of animals, birds and humans. This is a great collection of driftwood fossils that I recommend to the Guinness book of world records.
Very passionate lady. Explains very well how wood is fossilized. This museum is a science plus art museum. Fossils take various shapes like works of art.
The owner is extremely knowledgeable on the type of wood and it's collection. To get such a collection requires lot of investment of time and dedication. Place is well lit and clean.
