Gundert Museum, Language museum in Thalassery, India
The Gundert Museum occupies a 19th-century bungalow positioned on a hillock in Illikkunnu, featuring traditional Kerala architecture with tiled roofs and large verandahs.
German missionary Hermann Gundert resided in this bungalow from 1839 to 1859, where he created the first Malayalam-English dictionary and established Malayalam newspapers.
The museum collection includes the Hermann Hesse Library, digital book archives, and exhibition rooms that document the progression of Malayalam literature and linguistics.
Located 4 kilometers from central Thalassery, the museum underwent renovation in 2022 with an investment of 2.21 crore rupees through the Heritage Tourism Project.
The museum houses the original printing press where Rajyasamacharam and Paschimodayam, the first Malayalam newspapers, were produced during the 1800s.
