Archaeological Museum, Thrissur, Archaeological museum in Thrissur, India
The Archaeological Museum of Thrissur occupies the Kollengode Palace, featuring Italian marble floors and traditional Kerala architectural elements with Western design influences.
The Department of Archaeology acquired Kollengode Palace in 1975, converting this 1904 royal residence into a museum dedicated to preserving regional artifacts.
The museum exhibits ancient manuscripts written on dried palm leaves, stone engravings, megaliths, and numerous artifacts from the forests of Thrissur and Wayanad.
Visitors can explore the museum's collections through guided tours and purchase regional handicrafts from the souvenir shop located within the palace grounds.
The palace features intricately designed tiles imported from England, large wooden windows, and sloping wooden roofs that reflect the architectural trends of early 20th century Kerala.
