"It is a journey back in time, with circumferentor, pantographs and theodolites. They are among the old survey equipment exhibited at Survey Museum, housed at ‘Thayillam’ at Survey Bhavan, Vazhuthacaud. The Survey office has been functioning in this building since 1865. Prior to that it used to be a Brahmin illam. The equipment and instruments trace the evolution of surveying in Kerala.

"The museum has maps of erstwhile Travancore state, survey records and a library exclusively for books related to survey. Minutes of the first meeting of the Sree Moolam Popular Assembly in 1901 and gazettes of Travancore state have been preserved.", writes an article in The Hindu.

The Museum is a great place to drop in on a week-day and can be covered in an hour or so.
