Jewels in the Trivandrum.

Beautify maintained museum. Then entry fee is affordable, but the best part is, it’s completely air conditioned. After tiring walk in the zoo, entering this museum makes us forget it all. Loved how the specimens are preserved. Very neat & clean. Overall loved this place. A must visit.

Small but well curated - at least better than others we saw in Kerala. The ivory section is amazing but needs some conservation message caveats. The audio guide option needs to be promoted at the ticket counter.

Amazing experience. The zoo and museums amaze you the most. Amongst Raja Ravi Varma Paintings are the most adorable things I have seen. Worth every penny if you visit. Must visit places in trivendrum. It takes a complete whole day to finish the entire napier museum and zoo within. Overall experience is thrilled in every single stage.

One of the best museums and park in the whole of Kerala. The Napier museum building is an architectural masterpiece. It offers very detailed wood carvings and awe inspiring views. The adjacent park is well maintained with ample walkways and rest places. Its best suited for morning and evening strolls. There is a magnificent radio kiosk inside the park is an attraction. This park is also the entrance for the famous Thrivananthapuram Zoo.

Heritage museum that showcase the rich past of kerala. Each showpiece are masterpiece. Entire structure itself is an finest example of architecture. The ivory sculptures are so unique. Well maintained park also makes this place a great destination for tourists.

One of the best places to visit in Thiruvananthapuram. Near this place there is a zoo and museums. There are not so many hotels near this place but there is a stall that sells jail foods like biriyani, chapatti, dosa, chicken curry etc. But inside this place there are small stalls which sell ice cream, juices and so on. There are a lot of things there to enjoy one of them is the radio tower which I mentioned in the picture. It is built in such a way that the sound gets amplified without any speakers.

You need to have ample time to observe the carvings and the beutyful idols at the museum. Very good collection of artifact's. You need atleast 4 hours to visit all the museum's in the zoo. Yes this museum is located in the zoo premises

Trivians Fav*Listed / Magnificent Museum Collections / Ambianced verywell / Best place for Famtime , Friends time / Got a gud jogging track

Perfect place to relax and couples to hangout . The palace and surrounding turning into a romantic location for lovers and good place for children to play and have fun . Make sure you buy the curd water with a bit of chilly on it from the shop outside . Its Awesome .

A great place with soothing Ambience surrounded by well maintained greenery. Good spot to sit alone, relax, read books, think deeply or to have meaningful conversations. Personally I feel its better to go there on evenings of working days so that the crowd will be less and it will be much more quieter. Huge crowd on holidays kill that quiet calm vibe. Overall the best in trivandrum, pretty neat place to relax.

Proud to be a Trivian. Most iconic palace building of kerala state. Zoo is near to the palace. Lots of chairs are for visitors. Garden with variety of flowers and plants. Located at the heart of city. No entry fee to here.

Excellent place with historic importance. The courtyard gives a atmosphere to relax and involve other extracurricular activities such as drawing and painting. You can enjoy with your friends with full of freedom and fresh air.

It is situtated in Palayam, right in the heart of the capital city of Kerala, Trivandrum.The Museum is closed on Mondays. The museum was built in 19th Century and named after John Napier who was the former Governor General of Madras.Napier Museum is with in the park/botanical garden in the compound of Zoo It is very calm and beautiful place and well maintained.The museum houses lot of archaeological and historic artefacts, ancient ornaments, bronze idols, temple chariot, carvings and much more. Entry Fee is Rs.20/. The Museum is good with mostly the personal collections of Travancore Royal Family.Photography is not allowed.The building is nice, its a big premise containing the Shree Chitra Art gallary, the zoo and the Fish Aquarium.A basic collection of statues including various artifacts from Java and Bali! Not very large at all - an hour or less to stroll through the two galleries.The evenings are good here. You can listen to AIR having a good breeze with all around lighting.Our childhood days are evergreen visiting this beautiful place every now and then. The vendors who sells small items outside the premises is a lovely sight.

One of the iconic landmark areas in Thiruvananthapuram, the old style building with red and white bricks is noticeable from the main road. IT has been standing tall and high and providing pride to the natives. The Napier Museum is an art and natural history museum situated in Thiruvananthapuram, India The Museum is grounds to the Trivandrum Zoo, one of the oldest zoological gardens in India. The zoo was established in 1857 over 55 acres of land. It also contains the Sree Chitra Art Gallery, a separate art gallery established in 1935. The set of museums, along with the zoo, are managed by the Department of Museums and Zoos, a branch of the Department of Cultural Affairs of Kerala. Love the ambience and cleanliness but only feel that they could maintain the sculptures better and provide a better maintenance to architectural marvel.

Beautiful Museum with archaeological sculptures and precious ancient items. It is one of the must visit places when you are in Thiruvananthapuram. Parking space is available and a lot of eateries are there. Clean Restrooms and cloak room facilities are available.

This museum showcases the pinnacle of artistry and mastery in sculpture achieved by the Kings of travancore dynasty. Sad that its named after a British governor General, whose contributions to the treasure housed within are close to nil. The huge halls could greatly benefit from AC, but the visit is well worth it for witnessing the resplendent beauty of sculptures and carvings of the era gone by.

Calm and quite place. Historical well known place. Rest and jogging place of urban people. Good staffs always keep neetness. Pretty views are increase beauty of its surroundings. Ones you will visited again you will come to this place

Awesome experience

This is an amazing place with the perfect mixture of beauty of architecture and nature. I suggest everybody to visit here during night. The vibe you get here at night is really amazing. The park surrounded by it is well kept clean. People come here morning and evening for walking. The architecture is simply amazing and the museum collections will blow your mind. This place is really amazing

Its an eco friendly zoo. I liked the fact that the zoo is plastic free. The security guards will check your bags and will ensure that you don't carry any plastic bags into the zoo. Instead they will provide with paper covers to put your food which i really felt proud to see. If you are carrying water in plastic bottle, you need to deposit 20rs and they will refund you when you return and show the bottle. They will place a sticker on the bottle when you pay the deposit amount. There is a lot to walk in this zoo. But its worth it. You can see lots of animals, birds, reptiles etc. The compound has museum, zoo and art gallery. The tickets are separate for each. Do not be in a hurry when you visit this place. Take your time and experience well.

The place have large potential. If the government spend more fund on here, it will become a great tourist spot... The lake, the bridge and the lakeshore are good to see. The place seems less maintained. It's not properly cleaned and thus grasses are grown over the places

If kept under a balanced authority it would be a top destination to spend a good evening or an early morning with your friends or family.

Small but good place to spend evening.. Not much crowd..

Very well maintained... Enough space for Pedestrians and others... Kids has a lot of space to play..

The Museum is named after Lord Napier, the then Governor General of Madras 1872. In 1880, the then King of Travancore, Ayilyam Thirunal opened the museum to the public. It is one of the oldest art and natural history museums in India. The Museum is famed for its fairly good collection of artistic, cultural and antique objects. The lush landscape that surrounds the museum offers a pleasant ambience for an evening walk or a day out with friends and family. museum has a fairly good collection of exhibits like coins, bronze sculptures, ivory carving , stone sculptures, wooden carving etc. Any kind of photography inside the museum building is strictly prohibited.The Museum and Zoo are situated in the Museum Compound right in the heart of the temple city of Thiruvananthapuram 3 Kms from Thampanoor Bus Station, 3 Kms from Thiruvananthapuram Central Railway Station & 9 Kms from Airport. Approachable by frequent buses, Auto-rickshaws, Taxi cars etc.

Wonderful place to visit... Biology and zoology students must visit... Well maintenance.. Sunday is free for kids.. Car parking is costly.. Collection are good

It's a beautiful building that was constructed for the purpose of a museum during British rule,the high vaulted roofs supported by wooden horses is an amazing sight. It houses many beautiful chola bronzes ,ivory artefacts and silver ware. A room full of exhibits but worth a visit . The outer building is in need of repair though.

If you are in Thiruvananthapuram, and have some spare time, do visit the Museum. It showcases old historical relics, figurines, statues, coins, temple chariots etc. from India as well some Art and cultural displays, masks etc. from South-East Asian Countries, like Bali and also from Japan. The museum is situated in a campus that also houses the Chitra Kala Musem- that displays Raja Ravi Verma paintings and also of Roerich, A Zoo, An Aquarium, Natural History Museum and 3D Theatre so your kids too shall enjoy the trip for sure.

The facade is gorgeous. And it ends there. The interiors have seen far better days. Almonard pedestal fans are strewn all over the place. They haven't been cleaned in ages. Majority of the spot lights do not work. The paltry entrance fee of twenty rupees will in no way help maintain this historical monument.

Very beautiful Museum where you come across different collection of archaeological and historic artifacts, bronze idols, ancient ornaments, a temple chariot and ivory carvings. ..Entrance ticket should be taken...There is also zoo and 3D studio nearby..

Gives a detail history of Kerala culture, tradition and life style of olden days. The park outside is panoramic and relaxing. Zoo, aquarium, reptile house etc. are in the same complex. You may park the car inside with a fee. To explore the zoo, there are battery cars available at an additional charge which is advisable as you can avoid the long walk and the person will guide you with details.. A must place to visit when you are in capital city especially for kids

The museum is as good as small it is. It is one of those places which you can really admire without getting tired. Most of the structure is built from timber which are finely and beautifully carved in floral patterns. The central hall has the ceiling height of modern day 3 storey building easily with carved and painted wooden beams running throughout. The museum is bilaterally symmetrical. It has colored glass clerestory windows on both sides. The artifacts displayed inside are antiques and beautiful. Photography is not allowed inside the bulding.

It is also a must visit place whenever you visit to Trivandrum. The Zoo is also situated adjacent to this museum. Thus visiting this place means a lot, you can visit so many places nearby parking your vehicle outside gate on roadside. This museum has historical artefacts and idols and so many other miscellaneous things which have relevance in history.

Nice, visiting here helps to know the history better

Nice place to hang out with family and friends.

I was so impressed with this museum, not only for the art effects collection they have but also the technology they used to display that. So they have an that you download on your phone, and each art effect has a sensor next to it. You place your in front of the art effect, the app detects it and give you the story behind it, LIVE Guide. It worked perfectly and accurately.

Beautifull place I just loved the place

A lovely place to spend your evenings in Trivandrum. The place has such a good vibe with people jogging, some lovers having a good time, children playing around, some people studying and some elders who come regularly to listen to the radio. Anybody would love to spend sitting on the benches, steps or the grass enjoying the lovely wind caressing you

It's amazing to see such a lush green space with space for jogging, walking and spending some peaceful time with your dear ones. The fountain and soothing music adds to the charm. 😍😃

A better place who loves history. Contains Wood and Stone structures with Guide there to explain. You can spend 2-3 hours in this.

I don't think there is any other place like this in Kerala. In down town a beautiful but crowdy chill out place. Peaceful and clean. A museum and a zoo are also there in the campus

Just an amazing place for a walk and to enjoy architecture and nature. A wide variety of trees and an amazing building. Best place to visit in Thiruvananthapuram, no doubt!

Nice experience throughout...Inside you can see Art gallery, zoo, Aquarium etc..And the atmosphere here were calm and peaceful...you can spend in the garden as long as you want without any tickets ( free of cost)..🥰🥰❤️

Great architecture..many things to learn..

Nice place to spend some time. Lots of greenery around. Great place for kids. They will find ways to have fun no matter what. Construction work is going on in some areas of park. When completed, this should be a great place for outdoor activities. There is a pool which was closed due to current pandemic situation. Some nursery plants also sold here. Ticket rates are reasonable. There is a lake right opposite which is not well maintained, but deserves a walk. You get a good breeze. Overall.. don't go with high expectations at the same time, kids won't be disappointed either.

Right now beautification and other works are going on. There is a great scope for further development. Good to spend evenings in and around akkulam. Children's park and other amenities are there

Shady peaceful spot.

Eco friendly Calm area

A must visit spot for people who want to know more about history. And also the park around is a wonder as it provides a most relaxing environment in the busy life of city life and also act as a catalyst for the social interaction. And the best part of the landscape in the park that attracted me is the presence of non common trees, which have fully grown through the years, and the management has shown their kindness to tag each tree with its common and botanical name as well as its use, which is very helpful for someone like me who is a landscape architect practicing in Kerala.

Great place to know about various historic artifacts from different time periods. I personally love the coins belonging to the bygone eras and also the balinese masks on display. Photography is strictly not allowed.

The place is surrounded by a big garden which is hard to find in Mumbai I visited last year as I was on office trip I forgot to check that museum remains closed every Monday. So I am able to discover only garden and main building from outside side that's it. The place is also famous in the youth to seat down and have chat with love one. Most recommend place to visit. On next visit I'll discover the museum from inside for sure.

The museum was first established in 1855,[4] but demolished in 1874 to lay foundation for a new building, during the reign of Ayilyam Thirunal.[5] The new building was named after Lord Napier, the Governor of Madras from 1866-1872. The museum was designed by Robert Chisholm, the consulting Architect of the Madras Government, and the construction was completed in 1880. Napier Museum is a landmark in the city with its unique ornamentation and architectural style with gothic roof and minarets.[citation needed] The Indo-Saracenic structure also boasts a natural air conditioning system.[citation needed] Kerala's rich cultural heritage is in full display here. The museum was named after the former Madras Governor General, John Napier. Also known as Government Art Museum, the architectural style of museum is a mix of Indian, Chinese, Kerala and Mughal Schools of Architecture

Museum zoo etc all at one place. Except the humid weather everything was nice.

Perfect place to hang out during evenings Used to visit the place since I was a child I miss going there it's been two years I haven't been to the place thanks to Mr Corona

The Napier Museum (also known as the Government Art Museum) is a natural history and art museum in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India. The museum's architecture is a blend of Indian, Chinese, Kerala, and Mughal styles. The famous Trivandrum Zoo, one of India's oldest zoological gardens, is also located on the Museum grounds. The zoo was established in 1857 and covers an area of 55 acres (220,000 m2).

There was no announcement that the museum or other locations were closed. Even the staff were unsure, as some said that would open at 11 o’clock, while others said it was closed. Apart from that, everything runs fine.

Well kept park in the middle of Trivandrum city. Good place for a relaxing walk or a sit down. Open for public free of cost. One of the must visit place in TVM.

This museum houses some rare and unusual collection of historic and archaeological artefacts, ancient ornaments, bronze idols and ivory carvings. A visit to Napier Museum will give the visitor a glimpse of the rich Kerala's cultural heritage and significance making it the best place to visit for history lovers and students.This old museum established by Sri Uthram Thirunal, was demolished during the reign of Ayilyam Thirunal as it was not large enough to display the immense collection of artifacts and therefore the present Napier Museum was built. The main motto behind the formation was to provide instruction and encouragement in arts and crafts exhibiting specimens of interest in natural history and products of art and industry, both native and foreign.

It's a calm and quiet place. You can come here with your family during the weekends. The zoo will not open on Mondays. There is no fee to enter the park but you have to pay a small amount to enter the zoo and historical and art gallery. Must come and visit

Well maintained,Staffs are friendly, we can see the lot of ancient collection of statue.

Napier museum is one of the best places to visit with family and also for spending evenings with friends.The entry fee to the museum is affordable.The entry to the compund is free and there you can chill with your friends under the trees.you can keep your bags there with a lesser price and see the museum calmly.There is toilet facility.

Very nice museum to spend time with. There are a lot of things to see in that. Some of them which I captured will upload below

A good palce to spend your time. It has a huge garden around the museum that's full of trees, medicinal plants and other gardening plants where you can spend an entire day carrying on with your work or other activities. Do visit this Museum to find out the history of Indian Currency and the arts of Kerala.

Must say, it was an awesome experience to visit this museum. So much history, culture and knowledge crammed into one space. You can find everything from ancient coins, sculptures, chariots and idols. Absolutely breathtaking for someone interested in history. You will not be disappointed after visiting this place.

Well maintained and a beautiful place. The architecture, trees, nearby zoo, give a good ambience and it's nice to sit with friends. It's actually a quiet place where people don't make unnecessary noise so it's even better to study too in this environment.

It's a good place for enthusiasts in the history of the Travancore kingdom. The interesting artefacts for me were those Statues of Buddha that give us interesting insight of influence of Buddhism in then rulers. The architecture of the museum itself is exciting.

This place is truly a hidden gem! Hard to find but when you do, it is totally worth it. This beautifully designed space. Our visit was elegantly conducted and was very educational. It was an honour to access the curated museum. We saw the factory and the skilled craftsmen at work. You could feel the vibe, the passion and the sense of aesthetics of the founder. A man of taste who you can discover through the visit. The brand is full of heritage and vision translated into the collection which they make with the most personalised experience. This is probably my favourite place in Thiruvananthapuram, just because of the amount of thinking and style that has gone into making this space and designing the experience.The Trivandrum corporation is maintaining well. Thank you thank you

Beautifully organized and managed place which witholds it's own charm of being an old age moder architecture. Ticket is 20 bucks and due to lesser number of artifacts this place can be a quick add-on to your trip to Trivanduram.

It has the beautiful remains of Indian history in it. The place shows us the beautiful wood carvings.the gorgeous work of Ivory and silver. Please download the Napier museum app from play store before going there. It helps you to understand it better. The place is worth the visit especially if you are person who loves Indian history

It is situated near the zoo.... Close to the zoo... Beautiful place where people can do their daily workout.... Children's playground also with sand so that no children could gt hurt while playing. Huge area..one can go for relaxation and also for capturing photos... Loved visiting napier museum.

A great place to hangout. A great place to spend your eve with your loved ones. A great place to get a glimpse back to the old times. A great place to workout. A great place to find peace. Vast, descent, maintained, beautiful, calm, peaceful........

If you're looking to find out what is inside the museum, I have no idea. The area around the museum is the best, trees and benches and free access. Good place to read.

A marvelous building holding the artifacts of the historical periods. Well maintained peaceful atmosphere where one can enjoy the attractions without any disturbances. The building itself is an amazing attraction.

There is additionally a little park for kids to play. With regards to a vacation, how about we glance back at one of the most seasoned. Certainly an absolute necessity see.

I have been here 2 years back and mesmersed with the place. I would say one of the best historical place it is. Beside this museum there is a zoo where you can enjoy lots of wildlife animals and Indian as well migratory birds. There support staff was so gentle and kind with us. I strongly recommend this place

Visit only if you interested in history. Good collection of old age coin. There is also a luggage keeping facility, proper restaurant inside. You can spend apprx 1 hr. Every section is having a ticket. Like zoo, museum and all

Its Open now... Trivians have an emotional attachment to this place.❤️

Superb

Nice place for evening walk

Nice place to visit if you are there but not worth if you go there only to watch this place

Good place for a family outing with kids. Well layed out garden. Varieties of birds and animals. It's going to take at least three to four hours to get through.

Nice place to spend an evening with family and your loved ones. You will also find this place so good for lonely visits as well.

Beautiful memories over here. This place is so beautiful and gives you the taste of rich cultural heritage that Kerala is known for. Some of the finest collection and some mind blowing innovations centuries ago. I had been here with a friend trying to get information about the history of this uniqueness. This place is good but not maintained well. The staff is least bothered and have an typical government employee attitude. They need to have some good staff and brief them about the place.

Beautiful vintage architecture and sculptures sitting in this landmark Location in trivandrum

Good.... Nice view... 20 rs to enter museum.. U can see vishnu in different centuries... Museum is built almost 140 years ago...

The vibe you get here at night is really amazing. The park surrounded by it is well kept clean.

I dont like it much. you need pay for your camera for getting inside and the view inside it is quite interesting. There are a lot of couples under every tree its a bit uncomfortable to families

It's a place where heritage and culture meet

Excellent place to spend time with nature

Luv

Nice place for mental recreation 😅

Calm and quite place for couples... Kids play area... Enjoy the peaceful momemts with nature.❤

Great place for get together and reunions. Surrounded by 5 star hotels and restaurants for having lunch and dinner. Safe and secure as the place is surrounded by both police and air force.

A great place for kids, quality slides and rides. Shady trees and lake view provides a great ambience for the family. A great place to spend your evening.

It is a small place. There is place to sit and enjoy your evenings. Weekends can be a little crowded. But weekdays are not so busy. There is scope for huge improvement here. It can be developed into a good tourist spot.

Akkulam Tourist Village, best park in Trivandrum a popular hangout for the locals of Thiruvananthapuram city, is set along the banks of Akkulam Lake, the area boats of several picturesque spots. At here tourists may enjoy the facilities of the boating club, or beat the heat though a relaxing swims in the pool. A small light and sound theatre is the appealing attractions here.

Really good place to spend couple of hours. But yet finish lot work.

Lake should be cleaned🙄

Nice place to spent time with beloved ones. There are so many interesting things to do like photography, visiting zoo, museum,aquarium,art gallery etc. All over the place has great ambience. This photos from art gallery.

Trivandrum's majestic pride.. the place is beautiful and large enough to spend an evening. You can visit the museum and walk around a couple of hours. The zoo adjacent is a must visit

This place have a great vibe . It is one of the best places to hangout with friends and family or even with lovers The lightings at night is great. This place is a little crowded in terms of covid protocols. It have parking for 2 wheelers for free It is a great place to hangout. Loved it . The zoo is way nearer to it

Such a nice place to relax. And no entrance fee too.. there is parking facility (of course u have to pay for that 😉). And recently govt introduced free wifi facility inside the park. And to the people who throw plastic waste, please use the dustbin. Unlike other park there are lot of dustbin to throw plastic and food waste.

It's an awesome place to spend time with family, friends, etc. Any disturbance or unwanded things will not happen there. Each and everyone are engaged in their on works;no one bothers. We don't feel any boring while sitting there by seeing wonderful scenery. Hours will pass like seconds. We can study, celebrate, exercise etc there without any problems.

Always a great place to stroll around. Thankfully no merchants bothering you and do no temptations to snack. Mosquitos beware, at all times. Rare trees, flowers and now birds make it worthwhile though.

Superb

One of the must watch place when you are in Trivandrum. A best place for getting meetups with friends and having a talk in the evenings. The environment frienly atmosphere is very calm even in the city centre.

I mean, it's a museum! There is only so much you can do here. Although, it's one of the top places as there are limited "touristy" things to do in Trivandrum. So you can visit once as there are some undeniably interesting things.
