Trivandrum to Host Museum of Signatures

The Archives Department is planning to create a  Signature Museum at Trivandrum.  The Archives Department has an excellent collection of signatures in its archive and is busy collecting signatures of living personalities.  The Museum of Signatures will be up  in an year’s time.  The location of the museum will be inside Vyloppilli Samskriti Bhavan. The State Government agreed to the proposal of the Department.  The department has nearly 200 signatures in its collection, right from Gandhiji’s to Kamal Hassan’s.  It has also collected signatures from guests to the state like Nobel laureates.  Signatures of personalities from various walks of social life have been collected so far under one of its prestigious project which was kicked off during the LDF Government’s time by poet O N V Kurup.  The signatures are going to showcase would not be a digital version, instead, it would be a transformed copper metal version, installed in a gallery of the museum.

The highlight of the museum is that the authorities have conceptualized it as a movable gallery.  The specimens or the whole gallery could be moved to another gallery or hall without tampering the contents.
