പഴശ്ശിരാജ മ്യൂസിയം
A colonial-era building on East Hill housing Malabar archaeological artifacts and mural replicas. Nearby are the Krishna Menon Museum and an art gallery.
The museum is on East Hill, about 5 kilometers northeast of the city. It is housed in a former British official's residence and displays megalithic sarcophagi, pottery, ancient coins, bronze temple statues and replicas of Kerala murals. It is named after King Pazhassi, who resisted the British. The same complex contains a museum dedicated to the Indian statesman V.K. Krishna Menon and a small art gallery. Admission is cheap, and the complex is closed on Mondays and public holidays. It is not large, but it suits visitors interested in history.
