- saikat cNice collection. Far from typical museum. Mostly dedicated to lifestyle of Kerala. The museum is quite remarkable in the sense that its an effort by a single person. All artifacts are from a private collection. This place is managed by very courteous people. I still feel not everyone will be enjoying it. The entry fees are also quite steep. Photography charges are additional Overall good. Recommended, if you are a tourist.

AsmilWe came across this gem purely by chance - having no plans on a lazy afternoon.. The museum is housed in an architecturally classic building of three floors wherein all the rooms and even the hallways are replete with numerous artifacts ranging from masks to ancient armaments. A must see !!

- JITHA MThis place in Kochi is one of the best place to learn about the old culture and architectural work of Kerala from ancient times. From outside this place seems like an old villa but inside you will find all types of sculptures from old times, manuscripts and many more historical artifacts from ancient Kerala. You will be amazed with the ambience of the place.
