The Sindh Agriculture University plans to build Hyderabad’s first agriculture museum on the university’s campus in Tandojam.
Eight galleries in the Agriculture Museum will feature various facets of the agricultural history of the area. These galleries will display a variety of artefacts, such as antique farming tools, handcrafted tools, irrigation systems, crop seeds, animal species models, conventional crop patterns, old storage systems, and Sindh soil samples.
Models of animal transportation, loading carts, bullock carts, threads, ropes and textile tools from the ancient city of the Moen jo Daro will also be on display at the museum.
Prof. Dr. Fateh Marri, the vice chancellor, has given the agriculture museum committee instructions to create a thorough catalogue of Sindh’s agricultural heritage.
An agricultural museum is a museum dedicated to preserving agricultural history and heritage. It aims to educate the public on the subject of agricultural history, their legacy and impact on society. To accomplish this, it specializes in the display and interpretation of artifacts related to the agriculture, often of a specific time period or in a specific region.
They may also display memorabilia related to the farmers or businesspeople who impacted society via agriculture (for example, size of the land cultivated as compared to other farmers) or agricultural advances (for example, technology implementation).
An agricultural museum is said to be the diachronic if it presents the entire narrative associated with the subject of agriculture within its walls, or to be synchronic if it limits its displays to a single experience.
