It's a museum with lush greenery and lawns. They have benches inside and beautiful indoor and outdoor theatres. They host a lot of events. There is a flim festival and an exhibition going on.

The place is a quiet place in the midst of the city. The nearest metro station is pathadipalam. As the name states it is a museum of Kerala history with Parasuraman himself standing majestically in the front ready to throw the mazhu. The entry fee is only 100 for adult and 50 for child. The place has a bit of extension to the back. They have a brilliant display of dolls showcasing the different states and art forms of India in one building. There's an art museum which show cases the works of many great artists such as Raja Ravi varma, MF Hussain etc. it's a must visit. They have a small cozy reading room with a small collection of books and couches to sit and read. It's a good half day outing for children. Must visit.

It is a place where you can see the history of KERALA. The light and sound show explains very well about the historic events of KERALA

Nice museum. The light and sound show about kerala history was fantastic and must visit spot.

Unfortunately, there was a so-called research scholar who was arrogant 😕 and was not willing to remove his dirty shoes. Anyone from the museum authority, it is wise to take action on a person who isn't abiding by the rules and regulations. 🤗 It's a shame that this research scholar was unable to understand the importance of taking off the footwear in a well maintained museum.

Good walk to get here. I am happy. 150rps. Nice staff. Its a private museum so do not expect great art. Only if free and time to kill like if your getting your oil changed you could come here. What i considered worth it.

Our visit to this Museum was an extremely frustrating and unwelcoming experience. We had come with genuine intentions, one of my friends had an assignment related to Kerala history, and we were hoping to capture some photographs to aid in her project. However, our simple request to take photos inside the museum was met with a resounding "no."

We even offered to pay extra for the privilege of taking photographs, but our request was again declined. It's worth noting that other museums in the area, such as the Hill Palace Museum and Kerala Folklore Museum, were more accommodating, allowing photography for an additional fee. It was disappointing to see such a rigid policy at the Museum of Kerala History, especially when we were willing to pay for it.

To make matters worse, the staff's initial warm welcome quickly transformed into an unwelcoming attitude once they discovered our intention to take photos. We were even told that we could leave through the gate, as if we were somehow unaware of how to exit the premises.

One staff member even followed us all the way to the parking lot, which felt like an unnecessary and uncomfortable intrusion of our privacy. It's essential for museums to treat their visitors with respect and understanding, and this experience fell far short of that standard.

In contrast, the other museums we visited were much more accommodating and considerate of our needs. I would highly recommend exploring those alternatives if you're looking for a more visitor-friendly experience. Overall, our visit to the Museum of Kerala History left a bitter taste in our mouths, and we won't be returning anytime soon.
