Museum of Kerala History edit

 
Museum of Kerala History

The Museum of Kerala History is the oldest gallery in the Kerala Museum. The museum depicts the stories of the lives of 87 personalities, who played a significant role in shaping Kerala's future.[1] A light and sound show is organised for all visitors to the gallery, with commentaries in English and Malayalam. Important historical personalities in focus in the gallery include including Ay Andiran of Pothiyilmala, Senguttavan and Ilango Venmani, St. Thomas, the Aryan immigration, Nannan of Ezhimala, Kulasekhara Alwar, Cheraman Perumal Nayanar and Shankaracharya.[2] Sculptor Karamana Rajagopal of Thiruvananthapuram created the sculptures and dioramas in this gallery, and pre-eminent Kerala historian A. Sreedhara Menon extended advice on content.

Outside the gallery is a statue of Parasurama, the sage who is believed to have brought forth the land of Kerala from the ocean.

Modern Art Gallery edit

 
Modern Art Gallery

The Modern Art Gallery, which opened in 1993, has a collection of nearly 230 works of art by some of India's leading modern masters, including Raja Ravi Varma, M.F. Husain, F.N. Souza, Jamini Roy, Benode Behari Mukherjee, Ramkinker Baij, Ram Kumar and K.G. Subramanyan, among others.[3] The collection was assembled by Madhavan Nayar and his associates over a period of four years. Works were purchased from artists, art collectors and galleries while some were donated by the artists to the museum. The gallery was formally inaugurated in 1993 by then Chief Minister of Kerala, K. Karunakaran.

The Modern Art collection at the Kerala Museum is the only one of its kind accessible to the public in Kerala.

Dolls Museum edit

The doll museum has a collection of 150 dolls, depicting diverse cultural groups and dance traditions of India.[4]
