    This museum is located in Jew Lane area of fort Kochi. The museum is well maintained. While passing the spices shops and other marketplace you would not expect such a wonderful place. The museum has instruments, sculptures etc. Must visit this place.

    This place is good and beautiful. We can purchase antique items from here. We can just see all the items even we are not purchasing anything. The Jew Synagogue and Police Museum are near to this place. This place is always filled with tourists. The staffs are good and customer friendly.

    This is a very old family home in Ernakulam built in the 17th or 18th century. We visited this place for the architecture which is charming.This place is a must-see in Parur. It showcases the traditional and culture of Kerala beautifully. There are couple of other museums also nearby.

    Museum has some great historic collection. It was collected by one man. Most of the collection is from sixteenth century to twentieth century. The roof carving on the third floor is amazing. The collection is ranging from King of Kerala to the era of Shivani Maharaj.

    As the name suggests, the museum has a great collection of antiques which one can admire. The museum exhibits many artifacts that are centuries old. They also sell modern day replicas of some artifacts, a bit costly they are. But it will be good to people who collect such items.

  • 5/5 Biswajeet R. 3 years ago on Google • 251 reviews
    Pretty interesting collection of old antique items. Free entry. Shop inside has items which are a bit expensive but i guess that's the initial price quoted by everyone around, which is obviously negotiable. Polite behavior of staff. I enjoyed their collection most than others' items and these items were not for sale.

    One of the must see places in Fort Kochi. The staff here is very friendly and informative. Photography is allowed inside. You get to see historic artifacts right from the stone age. Highly recommended.

    A wonderful collection of antiques belonging to every genre of science and arts. Impressively kept in a tiny place. Entry is totally free. Do not use flash while photography as they might accelerate the degradation. They sell replicas of antiques albeit at quite a price

    A wonderful preservation of art, culture and architecture of the past. Part of the Royal-feudal rule in Kerala- Paliam is famous for the life of Paliyath achan. The chief of Cochi Maharaja. Fort like architecture known as Paliam kottaram, and nearby Paliam nalukettu which is the household for Lady residents of the family is nearby. Many wonders and thought provoking features can be found inside.

    This is a small museum maintained by the government. The entry is free. There are very few items scattered around I would rather say as everything has been placed in a very cramped up manner. There are no sections so you would be very confused why X thing is placed beside the Y thing. However if you are around then it does comes under 'Things to do' in this area.

    The Antique Museum in Jew Town, Mattancherry has a good collection of antiques and the museum will be a feast for those who are interested in antiques. Those who visit Jew Town should not spare the museum and it will make your visit to the town memorable. Antique weapons, palm-leaf engravings, ceramic pots, coins, 110 years old Quran, musical instruments, furniture, calculator...the list is long. I wish the items were displayed in a better way so that we can closely observe the items.

    Lot of very old artefacts and antique items which gives a glimpse into the history. It's a free entry. The stalls there are good too, if you want to buy some souvenirs, but I would recommend to check 3-4 places first else you might end up paying more for the souvenirs.

    A very small museum localed in Jew Lane in Mattanchery. If you are visiting Mattanchery with a guide the will take you there.You may not expect this museum in a small street full of small shops selling spices and antique items. This is a very small antique museum and within ten minutes you can complete your tour to this place

    An unavoidable piece of architecture which shows the traditional and heritable culture of 17th century in Kerala. We should enter the Nalukettu through the Eastern door. There is a 7 minute video to the visitors which explains the story of Nalukettu and also the people who lived there. The entrance fees for Adults is Rs.75/- only. This charge is including a guide. There is nearby "Paliam Palace" to visit.

    Ajesh is extremely nice and accomodating, he made sure I was aware of the delivery timmings. I bought a watch from his Instagram and it's just as shown in the photos and videos. He has a very well curated collection of watches at very reasonable price that come out on hourly basis on his Instagram. Be quick and grab it as soon as possible. The best 3k i spent this year.
