The Government Museum Complex in Chennai is a hub of human history and culture. It is located in the neighbourhood of Egmore.
The complex has both old and new sections. Some of the sections in the museum are as old as 1851. Among them, the colossal Museum Theatre is one of the most impressive.
The National Art Gallery, Government Museum, Bronze Gallery, Children Museum are present in the complex.
There are several Cannons at the museum complex.
The fossil trunk displayed here is about twenty million years old. Tree carried by rivers were deposited inland lakes and were transformed into fossil tree trunks by silica replacing the woody matter.
