When
speaking
about
museums,
the
Ancient
Industrial
Artifacts
Museum
of
Coimbatore
is
unquestionably
an
important
tourist
spot
in
the
city.
It
displays
artifacts
from
both
the
Old
and
New
Stone
Age.
It
is
situated
near
Sreepathy
Nagar
in
Ramanathapuram
which
is
close
to
the
Karpagam
garden
therefore
it
is
within
city
limits
and
easily
accessible.
The
Ancient
Industrial
Artifacts
Museum
has
quite
a
unique
collection
of
artifacts
from
the
Stone
Age
which
are
displayed
and
includes
stone
tools
and
urns.
Moreover,
this
museum
is
known
to
be
famous
for
holding
many
items
which
are
related
to
the
well-known
Kongu-Chola
period
which
is
taught
in
many
history
books.
It
is
interesting
to
note
that
the
Egyptians
conserve
their
belongings
along
with
their
bodies
inside
mummies
which
is
quite
similar
to
the
people
of
Tamil
Nadu.
Wherein,
they
too,
believe
in
the
fact
of
reincarnation
and
rebirth
after
their
death.
Therefore,
they
save
their
items
along
with
their
bodies
in
a
large
'Thaali'
which
is
known
as
a
pot-shaped
urn.
There
are
many
items
on
display
which
are
housed
in
the
Ancient
Industrial
Artifacts
Museum
which
are
excavated
from
areas
such
as
Perur,Poluvaampatti,Vellalur.
On
an
interesting
note,
there
is
even
an
ancient
displayable
slab
which
contains
the
commands
issued
by
the
King
during
a
reign.
This
slab
was
being
excavated
from
the
Udumalapet
town
in
Tamil
Nadu.
In
addition,
the
museum
holds
many
vessels,
coins,
sculptures
etc.
,
which
was
being
used
during
the
ancient
periods.
For
those
interested
in
the
operating
hours,
visitors
are
allowed
to
visit
the
Ancient
Industrial
Artifacts
Museum
from
9:45
AM
-
5:45
PM
on
all
days
including
weekends
except
government
holidays
and
festivals.
On
a
similar
note,
adult
visitors
would
need
to
pay
a
charge
of
INR
5
each
and
INR
3
for
each
kid.
With
a
calm
and
soothing
ambience
which
fills
the
museum,
visitors
can
spend
many
hours
in
awing
the
beauty
of
ancient
artifacts
and
take
a
glimpse
of
archaeology.
