Kerala Folklore Museum

Excellent collection of South Indian Art and Craft. It's a private museum. The collection is well presented and is very impressive. Wish there was a better explanatory note attached to the artifacts. The upper two floors have sales counter too. It's a must visit.

The ticket cost is 200rs and 100rs extra for photography. They Have a lot of monuments , the museum covers total 3 floors , every floor has been inspired by different type of architecture. Better not to visit the 3rd floor as it is only a shop

One of the most beautiful places in Kochi. The building is very aesthetic and is divided into three stories- Malabar, kochi, travancore. The staff is very friendly and will guide you. The paintings on the ceiling and walls are awesome.

One of kind museum of rich Kerala and nearby states collection of folklore items. A lot of artifacts to go over and are very unique. Glad I could see and experience this museum in kochi. A lot of history is saved here and cultural immersion can be experienced.

One of the must visit place in Kochi is Kerala Folklore Museum in Thevara. From the moment you step inside, you are transported into a world of captivating artifacts, traditional art forms, and historical treasures that beautifully showcase the essence of Kerala's folklore and traditions. The museum featuring a diverse range of exhibits including ancient sculptures, exquisite costumes, intricate wood carvings, musical instruments, and an array of everyday items that offer a glimpse into the daily lives of the people of Kerala through the ages. One of the highlights of the museum is its stunning architecture, which seamlessly blends traditional Kerala style with modern design elements. I wish they would get a 5 times bigger space to display all the exhibits in a relaxed way with some explanation of each one including the era and the significance. Here Exhibits displayed in 3 floors range from cookware, jewellery, idols in wood and stone, Hindu/ Christian/ Mughal religion building entrances, lamps and other artefacts.

On 1st & 2nd floors have some counters of traditional gift items. You can buy from them.

Entrance fee is Rs 200 per person and Rs 100 extra for photography.

Must visit place if you are in Kochi
The entrance price for Indians is 200 per person but once you enter and see the collection you will feel it’s totally worth it

History, art, folklore through dollops of lifetime of passion by an individual.
Loads of historical artefacts squeezed in rather small place though the house itself is a traditional Kerala style home.
Wish they get a 10 times bigger space to display all the exhibits in a relaxed way with some explanation of each one including the era and the significance.
Exhibits displayed in 3 floors range from cookware, jewellery, idols in wood and stone, Hindu/ Christian/ Mughal religion building entrance, lamps and other artefacts.
Parking in front of entrance. Shoe racks for depositing shoes and seats to wear comfortably. Toilets in the back have sign that mainly meant for men.
Entrance fee Rs 100 per person and Rs 100 extra to use camera.

This place is GREAT! I’m from Philippines and I really appreciated my visit here.

The people in charge are very accomodating and kind. The place itself is truly historical. I can’t believe they were able to preserve such ancient collections.

Thank you for the awesome experience!

Awesome collection of artifacts from across the southern states of south India . You can see many different kinds of paintings, statues , scriptures and vintage relics . You can buy few things as well - they have one floor dedicated to excess stuff that is antique . Also you can buy locals art stuff and gold plated jewellery with semi precious stones .

Wonderful and heritage rich museum gives an immense fruitful insights into the right culture and heritage of Kerala must visit place...one request to visitor is to please avoid touching the airtifact place there inspite of notifications out up some visitors do not seem to bother which is truly unfortunate

Best in class and proud of Indian culture
Lot of learning’s and you need to spend at least 2 hours
Fees 100 rupees per head (camera 100 rupees extras)
Great sculptures
Kind of marketing as you enter here on 2nd floor they want to sell you items

Folkfore museum. I am not a museum going person but I found this place really interesting and full of art from ancient to modern times. Must visit for every Indian. Entry fee rs 100 per person. Rs 100 extra to take pics inside museum.

Great collection of art, cultural artifacts, etc…definitely worth a quick visit.

Makes the visit truly memorable. Collection of heritage and historic Idols and Potteries. Each piece tells the story of craftmanship and tradition. A go to place if you are a person who likes exploring the culture and art. It gives a feel of Kerala's Art and Culture even more. Entry fee : ₹100

The Folklore Museum in Kochi captivates with rich cultural exhibits, showcasing Kerala's heritage. Intriguing artifacts, vibrant displays, and insightful narratives offer a memorable journey through the region's diverse traditions. A must-visit for history enthusiasts.

Must visit place in Cochin.So many unique and antique things are present. U will love it

One can go thru the earlier life style of indian tradition.
Its really worth to visit with family or friends

Interesting pieces to explore for art enthusiasts. The place has a lot of old pieces and some look creepy too.

Whaaaaatttt a collection....hats off to George kalinath..what a man...must visit..rich culture of India specially South India showed awesome...

It’s a must in order to experience local culture. You can observe, not only Kerala elements, but also from other regions of Southern India. Please, don’t compare it with other museums that are state-supported. This is a private initiative held only by the willingness of a family. They deserve to be supported through the visit, which takes something around one hour. If you’re in Fort Kochi, take a bus to New Bridge. From there you can take a bus to the museum.
