Awesome museum which is well maintained. Kept clean at all times. Good outing with family and friends. It's more than 200 years old. There was a prison in the basement before being converted into a museum. Nice and green butterfly garden. Has swings for kids. Ticket for adults is for ₹25.

The building earlier was a criminal court. And latter it becomes pazhassiraja archeological museum.

Pazhassi Raja Archaeological Museum is a museum and art gallery in Kozhikode, Kerala. The museum has a rich collection of historical artifacts from 1000 BC to 200 AD. The building that houses the museum was constructed in the year 181 2and was then known as East Hill Bungalow. The bungalow was converted to an archaeological museum in 1976. In the year 1980, the building was renamed as the Pazhassi Raja Archaeological Museum. The museum has exhibits from the megalithic age and the Indus Valley Civilization. The exhibits include ancient pottery, toys, stone and other metal sculptures. Coins, Models of temples, Burial urns and umbrella stones (tomb stones of rulers) are part of the museums's collection. The museum also has a collection of war weapons used by British soldiers and the official caps of British and French soldiers. The special collections of the museum include the Panchaloha idols and stone statues described as ‘War heroes'

The museum and art gallery is named after King Pazhassi Raja, known as the 'Lion of Kerala'. Pazhassi Raja Kerala Varma, who belonged to the Padinjare Kovilakam of the Kottayam royal family, resisted British colonization by resorting to guerilla warfare in the hilly areas of Wayanad. The museum honours the memory of this great freedom fighter who was killed in the beginning of the 19th century. The building was constructed in 1812 and was then known as East Hill Bungalow. It was used as the residence for the British Collectors of Kozhikode. Malabar Collector William Logan, author of the Malabar Manual and H. V. Conolly, the District Magistrate who was killed inside the building by four leaders of the Moplah Revolt, also lived here. Even after Independence, the bungalow was used as the office of the District Collector till 1976, after which it was converted into an archaeological museum. The first few exhibits here were brought from the Thrissur archaeological museum. Later, it began to display various relics unearthed from different parts of Malabar. In 1980, the bungalow was renamed as the Pazhassi Raja Museum. The museum, presently managed by the State Archaeology Department underwent major renovation in the 1990s. The Pazhassi Raja Museum, situated at East Hill, about five kilometers from Kozhikode, is a simple but elegant structure built according to the Kerala style of architecture. The neatly manicured lawns and the sprawling compound make for a tranquil atmosphere. Must visit 🫶

Amazingly maintained Government muesuem .was Enchanted with the rare findings.Good place for grown up kids to Explore history . toddlers have a play area drinking water available, 3D theatre was temporarily closed. Entry fees is very nominal. About 30 rupees for Adults. Parking available.

A place of scenic beauty. Nothing much to tell about the museum collection. A peaceful atmosphere is created in outer space.

A peaceful place with a calm environment. No direct bus from the city. You can visit the museum as well you can sit back and relax outdoors here.

Well maintained place. Brings you back to the ancient culture. The art gallery is awesome! We went during lunch hours so couldn't experience the best of it.

The museum is located in the East Hill locality of Kozhikode. It has the largest collection of Hero Stones after the museum in Egmore, Chennai. The staff are very helpful and photograpy and videography is allowed. The maintenance of the premises is excellent and it's worth spending about 2 hours to know about the region of Calicut. The lower portion of the building used to be a dungeon/ jail. The museum describes the development of the region of Calicut into the superpower city during the medieval times. Apart from the trading viewpoint, the development of script, temple art and architecture and daily life of the people in general is also displayed and covered sufficiently. Kudos to the ASI for the work they are doing.

The museum has been renovated and has got a facelift. Artefacts are well kept and the building in which the museum is housed itself is pre-independence. The items held are mostly stone carvings from various parts of Kerala during the time it was under various Kings. Along with the museum is an Art Gallery and Krushna Menon Museum. Due to renovation works going on the art gallery wasn't fully functional. The park outside the museum is a real good place to spend the evening with children

A good place with collections from stone age. Stone axe, tools , iron weapons, burial urn, etc are displayed with descriptions. Well knowledged staff members help us and answers politely for all our doubts. Out side the museum, tables are placed under the trees which are good for relaxing. From here around 15kms there is Kappadu beach, where Vasco da Gama landed for the first time.

A modest collection but an interesting snapshot of the history of the area. Lovely gardens and a nice view make it worth a brief visit. Seems to be very popular for school trips - there were several coachloads there when we visited. Rather than finding them a distraction, we loved to see them so excited!

This is situated in a calm location. It's a great place to spend your spare time if you are visiting Calicut. A nice small museum.

It was really amazing. Entry fees is 30rs and to take pictures additional 50rs should be paid. The museum had been kept very clean. There are mostly old collection of coins,pots,sculptures, old writings on sculptures,swords,daggers,locks all which had been used 200yrs ago-bc ages. One would get confused by the name thinking its related to pashassiraja ruler which is not at all. One should visit this place at least once. The wrong side of this museum is that even though there are lots of ancient items to see it's not much interesting because tgey should have kept some more of it

Its a wonderfull place. One time watchable with your friends & family, natural atmosphere are beautiful. Cultural Scenes

Wow thing!. Sorry .... Camera not allowed inside the museum...

Better arrangement of items. Placement is better than krishnapuram palace. But as name denotes, it has nothing to do with pazhassiraja. This was collectors banglaw. The underground was actual jail. Good place to visit if you are an archaeology lover. Worth a visit.

Built by British. It's not a palace but cellar. Everything collected from different parts of Kerala are collated and displayed to public. Good atmosphere for family. 3d theatre was not working. Good parking space. I strongly recommend only for family and groups😁

Lovely atmosphere and informative place.

The museum houses a vast collection of artifacts, including ancient coins, sculptures, and weapons, that provide a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the region. The exhibits are informative and engaging, and the museum provides an excellent opportunity to learn about the rich heritage of the region. The Pazhassi Raja Museum is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in Indian history and culture. Entry ticket charge ₹25 for adults and ₹15 for mobile camera

The museum is housed in a building ,earlier known as the East Hill Bungalow, that dates back to 1812 and continues to be maintained and preserved in an excellent condition. The museum has a rich collection of historical artifacts from 1000 BC to 200 AD; from the megalithic age and the Indus valley civilisation. A must visit if in Calicut .

Loved the ambience here! A very calm peaceful place. A haven for all those who wanna spend some quality time in this summer. VK Krishna Menon art gallery is open now, the main museum is temporarily closed. ₹10 for adult tickets for museum entry. Nice place!

Extremely well maintained historic property. The collection in here is very pretigious for our Nation and mankind as it includes artifacrs from stone age , iron age and much more.

A very nice museum to learn about the history of Kerala. Well maintained with a beautiful garden in front of it.

Museum is worth visiting and provides a lot of information on Kerala history. Place is very beautiful and peaceful.

Nice location, History lover should visit this place. Outside of mesume good garden where children's can play and enjoy. Inside you can take support staff help to understand History.

Very calm and quiet atmosphere. The museum was the collectorate of British ruling India. There is various collection of 19th century antiques.

Well maintained, staff are courteous and provide good information

One who is fascinated about history, a go to place from them, same goes with those who love peaceful environment under nature

Beautiful place,worth spending couple of hours to watch ancient monuments and painting by Raja Ravi Verma

Very cool place, there have a childrens park

Nice place for History students. The name Pazhassi doesn't mean that everything in there is related to the grate Pazhassi Raja. All of the collections are from different places of Kerala. You can have a calm and quiet atmosphere inside the museum. I think It will be more useful to Primary class students. Also there are some talented persons to help you with knowing more about the importants of the objects displayed.

I guess this is not that popular among the young generation, its a good place to visit rich in culture history and also the calm and quiet ambience. The museum feels cool inside , and also there is a park and lots of benches along the footpaths and under the trees. If you are not interested in history then also this place gives you good piece of quality time with nature

Pazhassi Raja Museum and Art Gallery located in Kozhikode district is a veritable treasure trove for historians and connoisseurs of art. The art gallery adjacent to the museum displays the acclaimed paintings of Kerala's cherished artists, Raja Ravi Varma (1848 - 1906) whose works brought international repute to the State and his uncle Raja Raja Varma. The museum is managed by the State Archaeology Department and has on display mural paintings, antique bronzes, ancient coins, models of temples, umbrella stones, megalithic monuments etc. The museum and the art gallery are named after the great Pazhassiraja Kerala Varma of the Padinjare Kovilakom of the Kottayam royal family.

Best archaeological museum I have visited yet. Informative placcards in each section. Sections are very well structured. Staff is receptive and is ready to explain something I have not witnessed at any other similar museum. Do go around the garden here its just an awesome place to sit unwind and relax.

Calm place . Well maintained old rooms. Good antique collection of such old indian and forien money , Swords , Kings using items etc . But not related to pazhassiraja's items.

Kerala heritage, ancient coins , Kerala temple architecture model is the highlight, entry ticket is there....

Nice place that brings back old days. Having an beautiful butterfly garden and a refreshing atmosphere. Provides bunches to sit and enjoy beauty and peace of nature.

Highly maintained musium with good historians, who are happy to give knowledge on various artifacts and overall history.

A visit to the Pazzassiraja archeological museum on East Hill is highly recommended for anyone interested in Malabar archeology and history. A variety of archeological exhibits are on display in the newly renovated museum in accordance with international standards. A number of exhibits date back to the British era, and even further back, including archeological finds from around Calicut dating back to the Iron Age. A few large burial urns (nannangadis) are also on display. The museum is housed in an old building from the British era that served as a court and jail. There is a well-landscaped garden, a butterfly park, and a small park for kids adjacent to the museum. Apparently there is a charge for camera usage - 60 rupees for still cameras, 15 rupees for mobile cameras. The VK Krishna Menon museum is also next to the Pazassiraja museum.

Pazhassiraja museum is not opened. Closed for renovation. You can visit Krishnan Menon museum and art gallery. Children park is open. Neat place.

A place to look back to our history.A place to realise how our ancestors were lived in our land . This place is less explored musium in Calicut .

We can walk through the garden listening to music.Parking space available.There is a ₹10 ticket to enter the musium.entry to the garden is free. Wheel chair accessible.Monday holiday.3D show is not open for now (2022/08/06 )

What an absolutely lovely experience! Visited with friends and a couple of children aged 5 and 10. The place is lovely both inside and out. The museum has been done quite well, in terms of its design, interiors and engagement. Informative and enlightening, well maintained museum. Outside the museum building, there is a play area, a walking path, a butterfly park, several swings, chairs and good photo spots. All of us had a gala time. The place can entertain people of all ages. Looking forward to visiting again.
