The
History of Man's Evolution is closely linked with his
advance in self propulsion. From a primitive 'hunter',
when he became a herder and farmer, the advent of the
wheel set in motion a whole series of inventions that
opened a whole world of opportunities.
The
Transport Gallery comprises historical developments
in transport and related technology. Be it Rail, Road,
Air or Water Transport - every exhibit is a working
model.
Rail : From Richard Trevithick's engine to present day diesel
engine, the working principle is clearly demonstrated.
