Kerala Museum

Reviewed By RatheeshRNath - Kochi (Cochin), India

Kerala Museum My visit to Madavan Nayyar Museum Edappally Cochin We always like something far away from us and never see what is near to you. This is what I felt when I visited Madavan Nayyar museum last day with family. I was on a vacation mood and wanted to show something new to my 6 year old child and was not in a mood to drive too long. After all research I decided to take him to the Kerala museum which is just 10km from my home, though I never visited. I always thought its just an art gallery. On visiting the museum I felt guilty about myself for not visiting this place during these years especially when am a cochin based tour operator. I shall pen down what I felt in this serene place. My and my wife with our 6 year old son went to this place where we purchased ticket for Rs. 150 per adult. The person at counter explained us to visit art doll gallery, art gallery and then to the audio visual studio to understand the history of Kerala. We though it would take just half hour to finish the visit and planned to visit an authentic in cochin for lunch, it was 12 noon. On entering the museum we were guided towards doll museum which was one of the main attractions. This doll museum has many dolls show cased with dolls of 2 feet height wearing ethnical dress of most of the states in India as well with main art form of that state. This small museum was enough for us to explain our son that we have 29 states in India and all states follow different culture, art forms and the authentic dress they wear. He was so amazed to see this vast culture and heritage of our nation. It was very easy for us to explain as all these were displayed with proper illustration and the way it was placed really require appreciation. Though he hesitated to come out we then went to the art gallery where original pictures of Raja Ravi Verma and many artists were displayed in proper order which are kept the way it should be. This is a place any artist should visit and is memorable to have good time at this place. The staff were courtesy enough to explain and is very well maintained. The third and last to visit is the gem in this museum, the audio visual of history of Kerala. At this place entire Kerala history was sculptured and a live demonstration was made using recorded audio in English or in Malayalam. From the era of Raja rule to democracy was portrayed in an order any one can understand easily. This half hour show gave lights on the history of Kerala with names of rulers and main legends behind the history of Kerala. Even though we were hungry we spent almost 1 and half hour in this place and is inspired by the way knowledge is arranged in this place. I would recommend all to visit this place atleast once and educate your children on what has been portrayed.

David Hall Gallery & Cafe

With its café serving authentic thin crust pizzas, delicious bites and beverages; and a space for performing arts, the historic building could be an inspiring, vibrant meeting place for fresh talent and lovers of art.

If you're in Fort Kochi for the Biennale, then David Hall is one place you should not miss. It is one of the exhibit venues for the biennale and a very beautiful one indeed. I visited David Hall for the biennale, but ended up falling in love with their cafe and spending more time that I had planned on staying. They have a beautiful outdoor cafe, with a vertical garden and greenery all around. There is a changing special menu that is displayed on the board and the pizzas here are an absolute must try item.
