Ponniyin Selvan Varalaatru Peravai

hi all

I will be in chennai on 10th Dec. There were a few exchanges earlier on a
possible tour of the Bronze gallery – If we can have 10-15 members willing
to join in – i am game to take you on a tour of the bronze gallery. The
Museum closes by 5PM , we would need atleast an hour to hour and a half to
complete the tour and maybe another 30 min for discussions – so we can
either start at 2 or 3 PM but would prefer an early start. We can also have
a get together post the tour.

Please note the Museum charges an entry fee of Rs 15 for adults and Rs 10
for children below 12 years. There is also a Rs 200 Camera Fee and Rs 500
for Video cameras. ( Taking good pictures of the bronzes is tough – as they
are behind glass and hence unless you are an expert n have specialised
equipment – would suggest to avoid cameras)

Kindly let me know how many of you are game to join -

Some useful links to give you an idea of what to expect of south Indian
