    A private museum a nice collection by Mr. Thaliath. Give a glimpse of our the past traditions, architecture, monuments, artifacts of South India. The entry fee is a bit high for a local tourist. And the additional fee for taking pictures.
    Highly recommended for foreigners. An guide tour would have been worthwhile for the entry fee paid.

    Located a short walk (2 minutes) from the Pathadipalam metro station. The museum has 3 sections, housed in different buildings. The history section gives you a organised peek into kerala history, using high quality dioramas with sound and light effects. The art museum has a good collection of artwork from across India, including two by Raja Ravi Varma. The display style and write ups about the artists are like what one would expect in museums abroad. The doll museum has a small but good collection of dolls representing different regions of India.

    Takes about 90 minutes to cover at a leisurely pace

    Very helpful and friendly staff.

    Raigon is an amazing person and very interested and helpful. He has loads of ideas and plans for the future of his ventures and museum. I spent 2 hours with him whilst he showed me tons of pictures from the past of Ft Kochi. The museum still needs some work but gathering from the loads of artefacts he has collected, it is going to be very unique. Best to visit either before or after a short spell at the adjacent Restaurant Warehouse.

    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.
