I finally figured out how to put more than one picture on a post. Unfortunately, I didn't figure out how to write under each one. Oh well! Maybe next time! This museum was the best! It was in Ooty. Christopher and Ramesh took us there on Saturday. We went up a crazy narrow, winding road until we got to the first building, maybe an office, I'm not sure. There was a sign that said Closed on Saturdays, so Ramesh made a call on his cell phone. Soon a man came walking down the mountain, through the woods, and got in the car with us. We had rented a car and driver for the day. We drove further up the road, and came to a large building. The front wall was a piece of corrugated steel and the door was two cuts up it, then rolled up so we could walk in. There were artifacts and transparent huts set up from various tribes in the area. This is the first museum I have ever been in where someone could take a sword off the wall and fake sword fight with his friend (top left) or handle and play the ancient drums (top right). The bottom left is a display of nature worship. There are more pictures on my Facebook page. We wandered, looked, and touched.....Michael and I couldn't quite get the touching thing.....and were awed by the downstairs exhibit.
