This place has been always on my list because i see every-time when i traveling through bus. So I broke my curiosity today and took a ticket to visit. Surprisingly the place was excellent. Museum has 3 buildings which includes art gallery,doll rooms and visual and audio room depicting the Kerala historical facts. A well spend afternoon😀

I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to this museum, situated at the heart of the bustling city. The Dolls Museum, as the name suggests, offered a delightful experience. It showcased dolls adorned in attire from various parts of the country, providing a vivid display of India's diversity in culture, costumes, and customs. The Art Gallery featured contemporary art, while the third museum block hosted a captivating 'light and sound' show, guiding visitors through the rich culture and history of Kerala. The show included several mannequins representing notable dignitaries and depicting the historical and cultural journey of the state. This 30-minute show is a must-see, well-presented with never a dull moment. It offers a comprehensive glimpse into Kerala's essence. The figures presented include Kathakali, Tipu Sultan, Pazhassi Raja, Thunjathu Ezhuthachan, Shankaracharya, St. Thomas, Vasco da Gama, Sree Narayana Guru, EMS Namboothiripad, Kunjali Marakkar, Kunchan Nambiar, Sakthan Thamburan, Raja Ravi Varma, Hermann Gundert, Swathi Thirunal Rama Varma, Velu Thampi Dalava, and more. This segment was the highlight of my museum visit. Additionally, the venue hosts various events regularly, making it an ideal destination for art and craft enthusiasts.

A museum which precisely gives a virtual experience of running through the historical time line of Kerala. Also a great place for arts, and folklore enthusiasts. This will help tourists to Kerala some needful insights on the history of the state, before proceeding with the other monuments in the state.

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.

Its a good initiative, but ticket charge is little bit high. Those who are interested in history can visit here. There are 3 sections.(Photography is allowed only in one section.) • Paintings(photography not allowed). • Culture of different states of India (photography allowed). • Show(presentation)of kerala history (photography not allowed). -Walkable distance from Pathadippalam metro station. -Cafeteria available. -Ticket fare ₹150/person | ₹75for students.

I lived close to a decade in Kochi and never visited the place. One fine day, I thought why not give this place a visit. I took the 100rs ticket and went into see what this place has to offer. I do love art and enjoy knowing about our history. I did enjoy the place due to this fact. People who have gone to Kochi biennale and found it interesting, please give this place a visit. If you love art and and enjoy history you can have a good two hours in here. There is pathadipalam metro station 100 meters from the museum. They do accept upi payments and they close at 5pm. You would need an hour or so to enjoy the place. Go in here if you have time at your disposal and want to just laze around.

This museum is located quite close to the Pathadipalm metro. There are 3 sections to the museum 1. History of Kerala (sound and light tour) 2. Doll house 3. Art Gallery The entry fee is inr 100 per adult. It is worth a visit if you're in the area. You can't take photos inside the museum.

It's a calm place. Perfect for those who enjoy paintings. They also have two real Ravi varma pictures. There is a show from time to time costing ₹100. Tourists should definitely see this place.

Felt it's more like an art gallery than a museum. Interesting display for the evolution of Kerala. The sound and light show is interesting and sets the tempo. In would have liked to see more exhibits on Kerala History. Especially artifacts and objects of significance.There is an art gallery too in the same compound. Like the art exhibit. Was well maintained. My child liked the Dolls exhibit. This was good but the exhibit needs to be optimized. There were many spaces to sit, relax and talk - if required. The courtyard is green and beautiful. it's perfect to relax in and contemplate. Availability of toilets make the place child friendly.Entry cost is INR 150 per person. There is parking available right on the road. Recommend a visit.

A nice place near to the Pathadipalam Metro station. It's on the roadside. Has a Parking lot after entering the Museum road. This is a Pvt venture under Madhavan Nair charitable trust. The ticket cost is Rs.150 per person. Seems to be a bit costly. It has three galleries 1- Dolls Gallery- This has dolls which depicts the culture and the dress of many states and also some foreign dolls too 2- Art Gallery- There are 4 art galleries which is distributed among 2 floors. This gallery require some interest in the arts like painting drawing etc. Else it will not be interesting. 3- About Kerala- This is the most interesting stuff of the all three. This is also again distributed in 2 floors. It takes us through the Kerala History. Each sculpture is lighted and a voice over about that is played. This place do consists a small lawn with benches to sit. It do have Toilets

Kerala Museum was founded in 1986 and is managed by the Madhavan Nayar Foundation. It is situated 9.5km from 🚈Ernakulam Junction Railway Station. It has three galleries: ♥The Museum of Kerala History-Important historical personalities in focus in the gallery include Ay Andiran of Pothiyilmala, Senguttavan and Ilango Venmani, St. Thomas, The Aryan immigration, Nannan of Ezhimala, Kulasekhara Alwar, Cheraman Perumal Nayanar and Shankaracharya. ♥The Dolls Museum-The doll museum has a collection of 150 dolls, depicting cultural groups and dance traditions of India. ♥The Gallery of Modern Art-The Modern Art Gallery has a collection of nearly 230 works of art by some of India's leading modern masters, including Raja Ravi Varma, M.F. Husain, F.N. Souza, Jamini Roy, Benode Behari Mukherjee, Ramkinker Baij, Ram Kumar, K.G. Subramanyan, etc. 💙Outside the gallery is a statue of Parasurama, the sage who is believed to have brought forth the land of Kerala from the ocean🙌...

Museum of Kerala History is worth a visit if you are in Kochi ❤️ This place consists of several sections like Art Gallery, Museum Shop, Doll Museum each on the separate block. Also there is a Main Museum of Kerala History and that's stunning 🔥. Art Gallery is where you are not allowed to click pictures, however I got to know this after clicking few of the pictures as there weren't any instructions or sigh board, mentioning that we are not allowed to click pictures 📷❌. Art Gallery consists of mesmerising painting and art of famous artists like Sudip Roy, Sudhir Khastagir, Jamini Roy, Akbar Padamsee, MF Husain and many others. Doll Museum - has more than 150 dolls, all dolled up in ethnic attire showcasing cultural diversity of the motherland 🎎 🇮🇳 Main Museum - an entire block is dedicated to the main museum,which is actually a kind of a show including lights and sound co-ordinating to the statue. This show is manually operated where statue is introduced by switching on the light and background sound giving introduction also mentioning importance/contribution to the Kerala history. Light and sound is turned off by the operator post description which is actually an indication to move onto the next one.

Amazing place. Art lovers must visit this place. History of Kerala in Audio-Visual is also amazing.

A good place to visit when you are in Ernakulam. The museum is located at Koonamthai and the nearest landmark is Lulu mall, Edappally. Enough space is available for parking inside the premises (may park outside as well if space is available). The museum displays many paintings from across the country made in different mediums. There are four galleries dedicated to various paintings belonging to many well known Indian artists. Also there is a doll museum where you can find dolls in various Indian traditional attires... There is a light and sound gallery in the last where the history of Kerala is described in brief. The ticket charges are Rs 100 for adults and 50 for children. Photography is not permitted.

Truly worth a visit. The light and sound show clearly tells the history of Kerala in a way that i can appreciate and will remember

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.

Too good for art lovers. Loved it many original paintings by great artists. Clean and nature friendly environment. Kids can also enjoy and learn the history of Kerala. Highly recommend.

A nice place portraying the history of Kerala right within the city. It is well maintained and spacious.

Nice to visit here. Doll museum, children and adults both can have fun there by seeing doll from different states of our country. Light and sound show for history of Kerala, few shows in Malayalam and few in English each for half an hour. One section for Reji's paintings.

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.

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.

Must visit to children and history lovers.The light and sound show through which they depicts Kerala's history is very interesting.Nice place.

Here we get to know about the history of Kerala.

While the Museum was transiting from one Exhibition to the other, we could see the Doll Musuem, the founder's gallery and partake in the awesome 30 min sound and light show that has cement based sculptures of historical figures and is about the narrative of Kerala.

Very nice area, but it would be great if it was a cafe there. The exhibitions are good but the space should be more clean - the exhibition walls and the labels should be near the works but not just A4 papers on the floor

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

Local culture and tradition portrayed through art and artefacts. 😍😍😍

Kerala Museum (also known as the Museum of Kerala History) at Edappally, Kochi, India, is one of the oldest art and history museums in Kochi. The museum was founded by philanthropist and entrepreneur R. Madhavan Nayar (1914-1996) in 1986. It is managed by the Madhavan Nayar Foundation, a registered charitable trust.

You get glimpses of the kerala history with the help of a guided voice narration. This is backed by few cast figures of men and women who have left their mark on the history of kerala. An informative place to visit with children

The place is well kept and maintained, situated within city limits , a must visit place for history art and culture lovers. The tickets are a bit pricey 150 Rs per person.

It's located near hotel Seagate..There is a ticket charge.. Rs.150 for per head..Kids have concession..Kids have to pay Rs.75 per head.. Photography is allowed only in Culture section.. Photography is not allowed on painting section... Those who love history must visit here... It's a great initiative..

Kerala history

Nice and quiet out here. Once inside, this seems like a place far away from the bustling traffic that is outside.

Great place for once who need to know about kerala history

A must visit place in Ernakulam. It will be an experience for you.

An amazing private art collection kept safely for the public to appreciate. Original Raja Ravi Varma, M F Hussain, Jamini Roy and oh so many famous artists’ work makes one’s heart skip a beat. The entry fee is extremely nominal for what one experiences inside - 100 per adult and 50 per child. There’s an audio visual experience at the last gallery and one has the option to choose Malayalam or English - provided other visitors are in sync. If there’s a demand for both English seems to be the choice. The first building where one buys tickets starts with a collection of dolls from different states or tribes of India in their traditional attire. The second wing is where there are 4 galleries - 2 on each floor - with the world class art collection I mentioned earlier. The last wing is where one is taken through an audio visual representation of Kerala history right from the 1st century. Those who have studied Kerala as part of their school history text books will understand and relate to the script better - of course it isn’t possible to convey 20 centuries of Kerala’s history in 30 minutes. The concise conveying still merits applause. Grateful to the trust that runs this institute and shares the joy of refined art with the public.

It's a nice cultural centre.. Very green and serene place Museum is the sculptures made showing the history of Kerela, through a sound show. They have show timings. There is a doll museum too. Also Art galleries of renowned artists. A section is dedicated to the work and achievements of the owner of the museum. Overall a good experience.

Its a quiet place in a crowded environment. 3 buildings in which you can take pictures in only one. 30 min show is there which describes some history of kerala and some famous personalities who did contribute to kerala society. One contains some artworks of major personalities and also some letters of the founder. Overall that was a good experience. The service of the staff was excellent and they were so nice. Its a must visit place for teachers and students as a part of their studies. Others can enjoy a quiteness if they are not interested in those arts. Its a worth 100 rupee note

The name is completely inappropriate/irrelevant to the exhibits. This museum has nothing to do with Kerala history. It has a handful of Raja Ravi Varma works, but the bulk of it is just works by painters from northern States, all from around early 1900s A third of it is just about the wealthy industrialist, whose’s private collection formed the exhibit. I repeat there is almost no Kerala history in here at all.

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.

Costly

Good and beautifully maintained place. Best place for those who loved history of Kerala and culture. arts and traditional statues are giving the nostalgic feeling of ancient Kerala.

One of best museums because of the beautiful presentation of Kerala history that happens every 30 minutes! The Kavita Nayyar Paintings were absolutely stunning

Historical place

Such a good place with nice ambience

It's a good place to know about kerala history. The art gallery and the Doll house is also nice. Really liked the light and sound show.

A must visit place. The museum is well maintained and an excellent place for al history lovers and art lovers. The ticket price is just ₹150 and it is totally worth it. Has three sections, Attached Gallery, dolls museum and History museum.

The first thing that catches your attention here is the huge statue of Parashurama hurling the axe. With a very interesting form of light and sound show accompanied by life size statues the museum provides an overview of Kerala's history from the Neolithic period to the modern age. It is a must-visit for children and also for the curious history-seeker in you. The museum complex also houses The Gallery of Arts and Sculptures, Gallery of Miniatures, and Doll Museum.

very clean and peacefull place. there is no canteen facilities. but u can rest on the benches and have ur lunch.

Beautiful museum that is filled with historic monuments and art and sculpture collection. A place of calm and quiet. A nice place to spend time in quietude. Those who are curious and interested in about Kerala's historical facts and art and craft and sculptures a good place to visit.

Madhavan Nair's gift to all. It is a marvelous peace for knowledge about Kerala history and contemporary art. Worth visiting.

Superb place

Well maintained And Wonderful hospitality.

Excellent place for painting

A very good place to spend time, It's a great place if you are interested in history.

Google maps shows the museum is functioning, but it was closed. The actual state is temporarily closed due to the pandemic situation. Please furnish the accurate information on maps.

An amazing place to get knowledge of kerala history, especially about the rulers. Also a rare collection of original paintings are also available. Easy to reach. Calm and quiet atmosphere. Helpful staff members. Neat and tidy. Admission fee is high as compared to other museums. Rs.150 per person. But still it worths. Loved it.

This musuem houses three different sections. One is dedicated to the history of Kerala. It shows it through 19 figures using videos and figures. Not particularly interesting. The second one within the same compound is quite interesting as it shows the varius traditional costumes in all the Indian states. The third one is an art gallery of Indian artists. It has two floors with 2 galleries in each floor.  Shoes have to be taken off before entering the musuems. No photos are allowed in any of the musuems. Entery fees is Rs 150. Quite interesting and worth a visit for the art gallery and traditional costumes sections.

Don't expect more....

Beautiful place

Love it , useful old information in different type of views

Well maintained and staff are co-operative

Great experience

Well maintained museum with good insights into Kerala history

Learn and know Kerala history

Neat and well maintained....

(Translated by Google) Rather than a museum It's close to a museum. Dolls wearing Indian national costumes It is on display, but the main one is in the next building Comfortable in the hall where AC worked with many paintings You can enjoy the paintings. The entrance fee is 150Rs… Probably a foreigner fee (Original) 博物館と言うよりは 美術館に近い感じです。 インドの民族衣装を着た人形など 展示してますがメインは隣の館にある 多数の絵画で ACの効いた館内は快適 に絵画を楽しむ事が出来ます。 入場料は150Rs… おそらく外国人料金

(Translated by Google) I enjoyed it slowly without any people. Is the building a doll? And paintings were divided. At first I thought it was Shobo, but I enjoyed it unexpectedly. Is the building on the foreground a wax doll that is divided into two floors and the history of India in order? And it will flow in order with sound and music. The light is turned on when the sound is relevant, but the light and the sound have shifted from the middle of the sound. it was fun. It was interesting to see the similarities and differences between the different buildings in India, which were displayed by men and women dolls such as dresses and casual clothes for each region in India. (Original) 人が全然いなくてゆっくり楽しめました。建物が人形？と、絵画など分かれていました。ショボそうだなと最初思ったけど、案外楽しめました。 一番手前の建物は、２階に分けてインドの歴史を順番にろう人形？と音声や音楽付きで順番に流していきます。 該当音声の時にライトをつけてくれるのですが、途中からライトと音声がズレてしまったのは、ご愛嬌。楽しかったです。 別の建物のインドの地域ごとの礼装や普段着などの男女の人形で展示してるのも、類似点や相違点が比べられて興味深かったです。

Perfectly describes the history of kerala and it's culture, paintings that makes us think alot , peaceful atmosphere ..Surrounded by trees , inside the city it gives good vibes , perfect place to visit with friends and family , ticket fee- 150/

An innovative museum about Kerala history with sound and light interface. Also have a good collection of paintings and dedicated doll exhibition hall. Great way to spend an evening in Kochi at the prime location

Very informative and refreshing. Also there's a good art gallery with an eclectic collection of modern paintings. A doll house and open area for programs. The museum is a window to the history of Kerala highlighting important events. A must visit place with kids and young adults. The museum and the compound is a haven away from the hustle and bustle of the city even when it's on the busy highway. You can spend some quiet time there

Worth visiting

Worth visiting

well maintained Museum of dolls and Museum of Paintings.. Museum of History and Culture is really a pleasure to both eyes and ears. Great effort by the team. ❤️

Garden needs maintenance and lot of scope for improving the greenery.

The light and sound show is very attractive and informative.

Such an amazing Museum to visit! If you're visiting Kochi. I highly recommend visiting this museum.

Good and one of its kind in Kochi,a place which can be visited while you are visiting Kochi,it's near Edappally

It's very beautiful nd historic Places. Good nd clean place. Painting was so beautiful❤

Really Good place to visit. Their drama of history is really appreciatable

Good space in kochi with a vision to acknowledge the art world, and Kerala history. From security to the persons in charge of each department were very much conscious on hosting the visitors. There is a service charge of 100₹ / head.

Unless everything that is old is considered history, and related to Kerala, it was only the half an hour light and sound show that had any connection to Kerala History. It is a well maintained space. And I felt it (art museum) would interest an art enthusiast, rather than someone interested in history.

Very calm place. Consists of original paintings from different famous artists, one painting of Raja ravi varma is also there. Entry fee is normal. Audio-visual sculptural representation of Kerala's history is really amazing.

Pretty good experience. All the staffs were polite and friendly. They have sound and light show which was excellent it's about Kerala history and also they hav displayed few of Raja Ravi Varma's original paintings with other really good artist's work. Would definitely recommend to visit once. Also it's walkable distance from Pathadipalam metro station.

The website says museum closes at 5pm. I arrived at 4pm which was in parts due to the beautiful on road traffic. I was told by the security guard at the gate that entry is closed by 3.30pm. Kindly mention this on your site so that visitors don't end up disappointed like me. Kerala history deserves a little more attention to detail.
