Sir,
This has reference to the article ‘SPS museum battles for survival’ DE Apr 4.
The author has brought into focus the bad condition of SPS museum which is a repository of historical documents, antique specimens of sculpture and some other valuable items.
Had this museum been in a foreign country, it would have been maintained aesthetically and with great care. The connoisseurs of art seem be in a State of slumber and indifference as they have not pleaded its cause.
The museum is treasure trove of information and knowledge. It is a link with our past, hence can’t be put in a sorry State. Besides, it could attract visitors from around the world.
The concerned department should shift it in the new building without losing further time.
Yours etc..
