The main components of this complex are The Museum of Kerala History and the Gallery of Contemporary Indian Art & The Centre for Visual Art.
The first is a kind of light-and-sound show that walks the visitor through thirty-eight life-sized tableaus that tell the story of this land through people who were pivotal to the history of this region and covers events over the past two thousand years.

The Gallery, which opened in 1990 is considered an important compilation of contemporary Indian art from the end of the nineteenth century to the beginning of the twenty-first. There are three hundred odd works of painters and sculptors like Raja Ravi Varma, M.F.Husain, Abanindranath Tagore, F.N.Souza, Jamini Roy, B. Prabha, Sunil Das to name a few. An adjacent intimate space serves as the Gallery of Miniature Paintings.
Complementing these centers of knowledge are a collection of 2000 books on art, culture, history and allied topics, a small cafeteria and the museum shop. A favorite exhibit amongst our young visitors is the small collection of Indian Dolls.
Our Centre for Visual Arts offers a variety of gallery spaces on hire for exhibitions, or for the use of conferences, lecture demonstrations, film screenings, theater productions or even just dialogue.
We also have an outdoor Amphitheater, seating four hundred, the venue for the Annual 3 day Museum Fest, showcasing India’s talent for Kochi audiences..
Today in keeping with our Founder’s vision the Kerala Museum has broadened its ambit through regular visual and performing arts shows, workshops, talks and lectures, spectacular performances hosted at the Museum Amphitheatre, collateral shows with the Kochi Biennale, partnerships with KNMA, Sahapedia, Lalitkala Akademi, Sangeet Natak Akademi, and the setting up of a Music and Dance Academy with classes in several classical disciplines.
