Vivekanandar Illam, Historical museum in Triplicane, India
The circular museum building contains various exhibits, photographs, and manuscripts documenting the life and teachings of Swami Vivekananda through multiple galleries.
Built in 1842 as an ice storage facility by Tudor Ice Company, the structure later served as a residence for Swami Vivekananda during his 1897 Chennai visit.
The museum halls display collections of books, photographs, and artifacts that showcase the spiritual leader's influence on Indian philosophy and religious thought.
Located near Marina Beach, the museum opens from 10:00 AM to 12:30 PM and 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM, remaining closed on Wednesdays for maintenance.
The building architecture combines Indo-Saracenic elements with colonial features, including arched windows and decorative pillars from the nineteenth century.
