The Colossal Root System and Ground Floor Displays: The absolute center of the ground floor foyer features a massive, sprawling root system of a 480-year-old teak giant meticulously excavated from the deeper core zones of the adjacent high-range forests. Walking past this monolithic specimen leads visitors to beautifully cataloged exhibits featuring ancient hand-saws, colonial transport mechanisms, logging tools, and interactive displays tracking the technical history of forest management in the Malabar province.

The Biological and Morphological Labs upstairs: The upper floor houses advanced scientific labs detailing the intricate life cycle of the teak tree. Visitors can view structured cross-sections showing clear annual growth rings to calculate timber age, explore extensive exhibits detailing common insect pathogens (like the defoliator moth), and study specialized seed-germination protocols. It provides exceptional educational value for students, research scholars, and forestry enthusiasts alike.

The Extensive Bio-Diversity and Medicinal Plant Gardens: Surrounding the striking brick museum structure is an expansive, impeccably manicured Bio-Resources Park. Visitors can stroll down paved pedestrian trails to discover an active collection of over 300 rare, vulnerable, and endemic orchid species, a meticulously documented medicinal plant conservation patch, and a vibrant butterfly garden humming with regional winged fauna.

Walk Through the Historic Conolly’s Plot & Hanging Bridge: Located just 3 kilometers down the road from the museum is the sacred Conolly’s Plot. Visitors can walk among soaring, multi-story teak trees that have been growing untouched for nearly two centuries. Reaching this protected sanctuary requires crossing a spectacular, long public hanging bridge suspended high over the rushing emerald currents of the Chaliyar River, making it an incredible adventure.
