An excellent display of history of colonisation of India by British, resistance to them & various attempts made for the independence of the country. The presentation is a 'must watch' for students and grownups alike. It was nice to know that the museum conducts examination for students after the visit, as per their schedule. A welcome activity. The photos, some original exhibits are all displayed with brief but important information. The names of some south Indian freedom fighters have been mentioned with due respect & importance. Such an emphasis is often missing in many museums. This place is under the administration of a private authority. I wish they can continue with good work for a long time to come. The government museum few feet away has also many artifacts on display. The model of nuclear reactor is impressive. The recorded information is displayed in a light and sound show. Excellent. Some artifacts need better display of information. The font type and size, number of words etc should be reviewed by the curator to make this place far more attractive and informative. I walked in with little expectations but when I walked out I was really impressed. When in Madurai, one should dedicate 2- 3Hours for this place. The book store in premises is good. An amphitheater in a corner looks neglected but can be put...
