Trivandrum, September 12: The Archives Department is planning to create a Museum of Signatures, a first-of-its-kind experiment, is all set to come up in the State capital.
The Archives Department has an excellent collection of signatures in its archive and is busy collecting signatures of living personalities, is behind the initiative.
The Museum of Signatures would come up in a year 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 signature thy 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 authority have conceptualised it as a movable gallery. The specimens or the whole gallery could be moved to another gallery or hall without tampering the contents.
