Review:

The Dakshinachitra Museum is a living history museum in Chennai that offers an opportunity to experience the artwork, traditions, and culture of South India without the need to take an extensive tour of the region. The cultural museum serves as a cultural repository of five major states of South India and features a variety of exhibits for visitors to explore, covering topics like architecture, dance forms, music, farming, and pre-colonial clothing. Located along the region’s scenic ECR Highway, the Dakshinachitra complex is popular for having several stalls selling a wide array items as well, such as ethnic and traditional jewelry.
