The Kerala Museum

A space for you to play, learn, connect through creativity and grow.

The Kerala Museum, of the
Madhavan Nayar Foundation was
founded in 1984 by R.Madhavan Nayar
who was a visionary industrialist
and philanthropist.

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.
