    👍🏻In this museum you would get to know more about the ancient tamil people and their lifestyle. 👍🏻Ancient swords, urns, coins have kept for Display. 👍🏻Proper information is also given for everything. We spend so much for other things. Its only ₹10, do visit here and you would sure feel good about our history. 👍🏻Kids will like this place.

    Very very small museum, just opposite to the Zoo and beneath the VOC Park / stadium. Entry fee is five rupees only. One can take photographs but have to pay Rs.20/-.

    This Museum is Right opposite VOC zoo in coimbatore, Tickets are very cheap, collections of many idol's, coins, stuffed creatures is good. Only minus point is some unkempt artifacts. But a good spot for children.

  • 5/5 Ashish P. 3 years ago on Google
    Right opposite to the VOC Zoo & Park, and in the Nehru stadium complex, the Government Museum is located among the shops. Its quite small and hence I had almost missed it, when I went to the VOC Park earlier. The museum has a collection of old coins from various countries, articles made using wood and bamboo used by the tribals, zoological specimen, and various articles made and used by people who had lived in and around Coimbatore region. It also has a section on how the characters (Script) used in Tamil Language evolved over the centuries.

    Very less things are there. Nothing is special . Need to collect more things. Space is very less. This is situated in front of voc park zoo. One time half an hour visit if you are going to voc park you can visit this. This is the second biggest city in tamilnadu. Not enough.
