Ideas for Display

While visualising the space to be used for the display we were shown a picture of the warehouse where the actual museum is to be set up. This gave me a general idea of the nature of the display the museum would be able to accommodate. My ideas for the final presentation of Nalukettus in the museum includes:

• Incorporating elements from the house into the general plan of the museum. This could include elements like a central skylight which gives a feel of the central courtyard in a Nalukettu.
• Usage of pillars and other traditional structural elements used in a Nalukettu could be incorporated in the construction of the museum as well.
• Projections that show spaces in a Nalukettu could be an interesting way of giving people a feel of the surroundings in a traditional Kerala house.
• The objects inside the museum could be placed in isolation interspersed with projections of the Nalukettu.
• Videos on the life of the people in the Nalukettu in older times.
• Videos on any rituals performed in the quadrangle of the house or within it.
