The Mahakavi Bharathiyar Memorial Museum, a Grade I heritage structure, is a synthesis of French colonial and traditional Tamil-style architecture. The façade is in vernacular architectural style with a 'thinnai' and a 'thazhvaram'. To-day it appears as an immortal memorial to the great poet. In a way it was a centre of deliberations aiming at attaining the freedom to the country. The house where the poet's kuyil once sounded its melody, has been acquired by the Govt. of Pondicherry in the year 1972.

It is a very interesting place to visit. Here Mahakavi Bharathiar lived for ten years and wrote many of his best poems here. Many people does not know the place. So it is very peaceful to visit no disturbances. Here lived to remain unknown by the British people. The place is slightly extended to show his specialities. Must visit if you go to Pondicherry. It near the Rock beach.
