The huge crowd that thronged the ‘Porunai Archaeological Museum’, which was opened to the visitors on Tuesday after it was formally inaugurated by Chief Minister M.K. Stalin last Saturday, were thrilled to see the ancient Tamil civilisation and the attractively showcased artefacts.
Even though the museum was opened at 10 a.m., the crowd started gathering at 9.30 a.m. itself and the 17-minute-long audio – visual show at the museum’s mini theatre set the right tone before getting immersed into the finer details of the museum, like iron smelting interactive board, pearl fishery etc.
