Summary:
Experts like historian Dr.
Veluthattu Keshavan, who specialises in epigraphy, had visited Paliam Museum to help preserve the palm leaf documents. The Paliam Palace and the traditional home of the aristocrats of Paliam, the Nalukettu, were important part of the historical era. “We have the support of many international conservation experts, who had visited the museum earlier”, said P.M.
Noushad, managing director of the Muziris Project. The Paliam palace was designated as a museum as part of the Muziris Heritage project after the Pattanam excavations threw up remnants of the history of the legendary port of Muziris. “It is the initial work of salvaging the artefacts that we had begun here”, said Ms.
Prasanth, who is familiar with the work at Paliam..
