Archeological Museum - Archaeological museum in Thrissur - Thrissur, India

I did not found it very meaningful and productive Mostly murals are copy from other palaces and so the artifcats. I found many artifact very usual like iron, torch and knife. They are looking from modern times and not like archeological things. Not too well maintained

Characterized by a simple blend of native architecture and European design elements, it is not a highly embellished palace of north Indian states. Nor does it look huge and grand in style. Nope. The distinctive aspect of palaces in SW Indian state of Kerala is its ''elegance in simplicity.'' They are impressive, inspiring and cool to our eyes as they are in sync with native culture and terrain, ghat area that gets lots of rain during the monsoons. The slopping tiled roof and gables at certain places and elaborate use of wood in the form of rafters, pillars, beams and cross beams, etc., make them stand apart. The masonry walls are thick that gives the structure a strong base. The extended sloping roof over the windows, balcony, etc., gives extra protection to the walls as well as to the wooden structure in he rainy seasons. Set in the midst of a garden with trees and plants all around, the interiors are cool. As it was wont in the past and also in the present, this palace was designed and built based on Vastsu Sastras.

Mostly murals are copy from other museums Stuff and material ar also not so unique. It's ok ok side museum. Even if you skip it doesn't matter too much. Google location is wrong it takes to wrong direction and back side to the museum but it's entry gate is on the main road side.

A must visit place to all those who want to sneak into the past. Heritage garden is quite a calm and cool place, will wonder after seeing the greenery within the Thrissur town..

One of the best place for spending 3 to 4 hrs at Thrissur, it's located near from Thrissur town,

Entry ticket 25 rupees . It is a good experience which enhances our love towards Thrissur

Got a chance to have a glimpse into the history of old kerala
