Exhibitions at the Mussoorie Heritage Centre
The Centre has two kinds of exhibition- Exhibition 1 is the permanent display and representation of ancient pictures, factual paintings, murals and antiques, which define the look and feel of the cultural centre. With a general idea of the evolution of Mussoorie from 1814 to 1949, this exhibition targets to reinstitute the legacy of the hill town.
However, Exhibition 2 is an annual affair with varying topics of interest every year, which runs for a year at a stretch. This refashioning helps in maintaining the flavour and in keeping the visitors engrossed and interested at the same time. The topics covered include early modes of transport in the hilly terrain, commercialisation and growth of the tourism industry etc.
Antique Shop at Mussoorie Heritage Centre
The enterprise also aims to revive the glory of Mussoorie?s rich past and focuses on educating people about the indigenous crafts by displaying the handicraft work of local craftsmen which includes local souvenirs, old jewellery, sculptures, wicker baskets etc.
Mr Vinod Kumar owns an antique store just adjacent to the centre for the last 60 years, since 1928. The shop is the best place to look for high-quality souvenirs including framed photographs of Mussoorie, wicker baskets, take away mugs etc. Most products are sourced from self-help groups or are hand-crafted products by local tribals. The antique shop is an added treasure-house of ancient crockery, old jewellery and sculptures to take back.
