Kerala1964Natural Heritage MuseumA Museum was started in the year 1853, in a part of the Bungalow of John Allan Broun, then Director of the Trivandrum Observatory. The specimen of Travancore rocks offered by General Cullen formed the earliest collection in the institution. This Museum was thrown open to the public in 1857. In 1880 the new building designed by Chisholm, Architect to the Government of Madras and named after Lord Napier, a Governor of Madras, was built. Natural history specimens formed the chief exhibit there besides the indigenous arts, crafts, industries and archaeology. Later a steady growth of the Museum collections in the Art and Natural History sections were achieved. In 1936, following the recommendations of the Museums of India Survey Committee, the Museum was further split up into a Museum of Natural History and an Art Museum. The Natural History exhibits were shifted to a building at Shankumukhom and placed under the control of Travancore University. The formation of the Kerala State in 1956 brought about an administrative re-union of the Museums, the Zoos and the Botanical Gardens at Thiruvananthapuram with which was also integrated the Cochin State Museum and Zoo at TrichurState Governmentwww.tnhm.in0471-2316275Adults: Rs. 30/- per head and Children: Rs. 10/- per head10:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.Café, Photography, Souvenir Shop and Guided ToursNatural History MuseumsMuseums Owned By State Government38312.36Kunjali Marakkar Museum
