Acerca de
Datos rápidos: Repartido en 10 acres de tierra costera, este museo viviente reúne 18 casas patrimoniales auténticas de cuatro estados del sur de la India. Artesanos locales demuestran artesanías centenarias a diario, desde el tejido de seda de Kanchipuram hasta la pintura de Thanjavur, justo ante tus ojos.
Destacados: Una casa de comerciante de 200 años de antigüedad de Chettinad fue cuidadosamente desmantelada, numerada ladrillo por ladrillo, y reconstruida aquí con materiales originales y técnicas tradicionales. Atraviesa sus enormes puertas talladas de teca y olerás la inconfundible mezcla de palo de rosa, yeso de cal y antigüedad que ninguna reproducción moderna podría replicar.
Consejos de expertos
- Skip the overpriced on-site restaurant and eat at the thatched-roof food stalls near the pottery village for authentic, affordable Kothu Parotta.
- The pottery and weaving demonstrations happen before 2 PM, so plan your visit around the morning craft schedule.
- Visit the Tamil Nadu house first, it has the best natural light for photos before the afternoon sun gets harsh.
- Bring a hat and water bottle, the walkways between houses are mostly uncovered and Chennai heat is relentless by noon.
