点评:As the name of the place suggests, it contains a unique exhibition of fossilised driftwood from the Andaman Sea. The collection has been put together by the Museum Curator, a lady who had lived in Port Blair in the Andaman Islands. She explained that all the driftwood was Rosewood which grew in mangrove swamps where the trees became undermined by water and collapsed into the swamp. They remained there for centuries until periodically were uncovered by storms or wave action. The pieces of driftwood were the result and had been hardened by age so resembled and felt like iron.
Apart from the labelling of each exhibit It was obvious what some of them were, others less so and required imagination. Fascinating.
There is a strong possibility that the Museum may be granted UNESCO heritage status as there is nothing like it anywhere in Kerala and indeed the world.
翻译:正如这个地方的名字所暗示的那样,这里展出了来自安达曼海的浮木化石。这些藏品是由博物馆馆长收集的,她是一位曾住在安达曼群岛布莱尔港的女士。她解释说,所有的浮木都是红木,它们生长在红树林沼泽中,树木被水侵蚀并倒塌在沼泽中。它们在那里呆了几个世纪,直到被风暴或海浪定期发现。浮木碎片就是结果,它们经过岁月的侵蚀而变硬,因此看起来和摸起来都像铁。
除了每个展品的标签外,有些展品是什么一目了然,有些展品就不那么明显了,需要想象力。令人着迷。
该博物馆很有可能被授予联合国教科文组织遗产地位,因为在喀拉拉邦乃至全世界都没有这样的博物馆。
