Wayanad Heritage Museum

This remains unique among various attractions of Wayanad, such as hilltops, waterfalls, and adventure sports. A Heritage Museum in Wayanad is a real surprise.

Situated in the Ambalavayal locality, this well-maintained museum has a rich collection of artifacts that belong to the Wayanad region. They are dated back to between the Neolithic ages and the 16th century.

The museum has four blocks: Veerasmruthi, Devasmruthi, Jeevansmruthi, and Gothrasmurthi.

Veerasmurthi displays mainly hero stones of different sizes and styles. They date back from the 14th century to the 16th century CE.

Devasmruthi consists of stone icons depicting various deities, mostly Bhairava. Some terracotta figures are also on display. 

Jeevansmruthi showcases the vessels and tools of Wayanadan rural life and agricultural operations. A few notable examples are bangles, earrings, necklaces, and various musical instruments.

Gothrasmruthi displays the objects of daily use that were once used by the tribal. Cowbells and fish collection bags are some of the interesting artifacts.

Happy travelling.
