Hyderabad’s octogenarian YK Murthy’s passion of a lifetime
The Hindu
His house YK Antiques Home Museum boasts of 850 antiques in brass, copper, bronze and stone
Tucked away in a quiet residential neighbourhood in Lothukunta — some seven kilometres from the Secunderabad Railway Station, is YK Antiques Home Museum. This is actually 81-year-old Yenugu Krishna Murthy’s house where he treasures more than 850 antiques in brass, copper, bronze, stone and ghantam (palm leaf writing instrument) as well as period furniture.
On a warm November afternoon, we ring the brass temple bell at the entrance. The sprightly octogenarian ushers us through an 150-year old antique front door that has a traditional locking system.
