Good place. Lots of cartoon works are here and each is based on strong facts. Apart from that lots of beautiful scriptures are also available here. Art exhibitions are also conducted here. Its a good place to visit and located close to NH 66. Muckkada,Kayamkulam .

A rare institutions for showing the creativity of an eminent cartoonists, I appreciate the State government for its interest. It has lively drawing of the greater cartoonist's in India. Some foreigners drawings were also there.The passages andouter areas has some great sculptures. I consider a great time here.

We never heard of this place. Stopped in front of this art gallery unexpectedly and we are glad that we did. It’s a must visit place for people who love sculptures and cartoons. Especially for fans of Cartoonist Shankar’s work. Only INR10 for entry. Not crowded at all. Very well maintained.

India's first cartoon museum. Alappuzha district bordering Kollam district is where the museum is located. Ochira is situated 500 mtrs from the north side

One of the best art gallery in the state

One of the nicest art gallery in Alappuzha district . for more details watch Video on my YouTube channel. My YouTube channel is Keralite Roshan

Shankar Memorial National Cartoon Museum and Art Gallery is an art museum established by the Kerala Lalithakala Akademi under the Government of Kerala, India, in 2014, as a tribute to the renowned Indian cartoonist Shankar. The institution is situated at Krishnapuram in Kayamkulam which is the home town of Shankar, in Kerala.

India's first art gallery. A must visit place for art lovers. Many types of paintings,drawings and sculptures of different art forms exhibited.

A tribute to cartoonist Shankar. A fantastic asset to the Kayamkulam town. Shri Shankar was a political cartoonist for several decades and the museum gives an opportunity to the public to have an insight to the life of Shri. Shankar through the numerous cartoons, drawing material and tools he used etc exhibited here. It was a good experience to see the overall museum and the staff working here is friendly too. Parking is available just outside the building.

So many variety of artistic sculptures to cherish, and did I mention his cartoon which were revolutionary coming to think of it

The place is a must visit for those who love arts and sculptures. Many pieces of wonderful exhibits are there. An exclusive gallery for the winners of painting competition from around the world is awesome. There needs to be more facilities for sitting as there are no chairs available outside. It appears a lack of advertising that is not attracting people to this place. There is parking available for 4-5 cars inside. The bigger vehicles can be parked outside.

Its a pefect place to know more about great talented cartoonist Shankar. Above all the arrangements and pictures showcased there was exciting.. Ticket charge is INR 5 for adults and INR 2 for children.

A nice quiet museum, well constructed and airy, accessible from highway. Let everyone see the various sculptures & paintings and introspect. Entrance fee is only Rs 10/- per head. Cartoonist Shankar's workdesk & chair, and his easy chair also exhibited, along with some of his works..

Well cartoon musuem situted in mukkada, in 2 hours can see the entire place and good atmosphere with nature beauty, if once visits suggesting to visit CPCRI also nearb this in mukkada infront of motel aram

Beautiful artworks

Very interesting place to visit. This is a tribute memorial museum to a political cartoonist Shankar. Many exhibits of his artworks. Take some time to read and enjoy the works. There are also some carvings and physical artworks laid around the courtyard and outside of the museum. Parking for car available just outside the building. One of the few attractions in Kayamkulam.

Creativity meet soul here.. Nice place

Good place. Lots of cartoon works are here and each is based on strong facts. Apart from that lots of beautiful scriptures are also available here. Art exhibitions are also conducted here. Its a good place to visit and located close to NH 66.

A wonderful place not to be missed. It's so close to the national highway that it's hard to miss. Sankar was India's most acclaimed cartoonist and guru to likes of RK LAXMAN and balasaheb thhakre. The museum lists all his work and articles about him to inspire the younger generations. Sankar was the doyen of painting competition for children in India. His belief that art in childhood paves the way to making sincere adults. He dedicated his life for children's painting activities. Paintings by children world over are displayed in the memorial. And are a great tribute to Sankar's vision. The memorial is designed very beautifully. It also houses an art gallery and painting exhibitions are conducted on Avery regular basis. Entry fee is just Rs 20 and there are no restrictions on photography. Ample space for parking is available.

Had a great experience...

The museum of Kerala Lalithakala Akademi has exhibited the original cartoons of cartoonist Shankar and the tools used for his creative work. The artist's carvings and sculptures are also featured in the museum.

Great value of time Come visit enjoy. I Recommend 😀

Generally the Galery was pretty enjoyable. The rooms are designed very nicely and the pieces certainly had an effect on me. The shop is ill-equipped, though. They did not have any books or other products in English, which I found to be a weird choice.

A wonderful art gallery, unique in its own way. It has the right combination of paintings, sculpture and cartoons. It is a must visit. It is surprisingly not crowded.

Call and confirm before visiting as it remains closed since April 2021.

It's very nice place to visit

Nice place
