“We worked tirelessly for 60 days to complete the display before the museum’s grand opening. The six galleries in the museum exhibit artefacts unearthed from excavation sites such as Keeladi, Konthagai, Agaram, and Manalur. My team designed and arranged the captivating display wall for these galleries,” Kathir reveals to DT Next.

With the support of the archaeology department, the team was able to incorporate textual content and photographs into their designs, resulting in an immersive and educational experience for museum visitors.
