Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan has inaugurated the Palm leaf Manuscript Museum with modern audio-visual technology.
The Museum, promoted as “World’s First Palm-Leaf Manuscript Museum” was set up by the Archives Department in association with the Kerala Museum of History and Heritage.
The museum is a repository of curious nuggets of administrative, socio-cultural and economic facets of the Travancore kingdom which lasted for 650 years till the end of the 19th century.
It had been the Central Vernacular Records Office since 1887 before becoming a museum.
