HERITAGE WALKS

Register for our walks!

We are thrilled to bring heritage closer to you by embarking on tours of some of the city's historic precincts!

We're looking forward to exploring different facets of the city and discovering stories that are integral to Madras’s growth and evolution. Following proper adherence to COVID-19 protocols, the physical walks will offer us an opportunity to get back on the streets and unravel the layers of history that make up the city. Do save the dates and join us as we walk through the city's enchanting historic enclaves and engage in conversations about history, architecture, planning, heritage awareness, conservation, and management.

In case you would like to book a private physical walk, please write to us at mail@madrasinherited.in

PROJECTS & OUTREACH

Take a look at what we do!


We're always looking at new and exciting ways to facilitate engagement between the people of Chennai and the heritage of their city. With 'Heritage Education' syllabi for schools and colleges, we're developing ways to take the idea of heritage sensitivity to the grassroots level. Our outreach events range from doing heritage walks for schoolchildren to pop-up place-making events in public spaces to engage the general public and start a conversation about Chennai's eclectic culture, communities and history. We've also worked with the local administrative bodies in Chennai such as the CMDA to list heritage buildings in the city. Our 'Projects & Outreach' page is a summary of our journey towards greater heritage sensitivity and conservation in Chennai.
