5) Dakshinachitra:

Museums are not everybody’s cup of tea. But, Dakshinachitra is more of an enjoyable place to spend your time, rather than just a museum.  The place stores in itself great works of architecture, crafts, performing arts, and lifestyles that belong to South India. Developed in the form of a village, it showcases the traditional lifestyle of South Indians. It is a collection of 18 authentic houses, each having its own contextual exhibition. These homes are purchased, broken down, transported and lastly reconstructed by professional artisans or Stapathis who belong to the places from where the houses are bought. If you want to learn about the history, culture and heritage of this Southern state, then Dakshinachitra is the place to go. Adults are allowed to enter with a Rs. 100 ticket, while Rs. 30 has to be paid for children.

Timings: 10:00 am to 6:00 pm. (Closed on Tuesdays and Public Holidays)

Address: SH 49, Muthukadu, Tamil Nadu 603112
