On the display are the collections of the Royal families, Oil Paintings , Sculptures and many curious artifacts.

The cluster of buildings itself is a great feast to experience. Do not miss the old bathing area, with an unusually long corridor leading to the stepped waterbody. This is on the northeast part of of the museum campus.

A little off, behind the the main building is a deer park. For the kids, this seems to be an exciting place compared to the museum exhibits.

The popular Malayalam movie Manichitrathazhu was shot here ( get to the old bath area & the stepped tank on the northeast side).

The Palace is open to public everyday from 10 AM to 12.30 PM and 2 PM to 5 PM. Closed on Mondays and national/state holidays.

Entry Ticket :₹20
Camera fee : ₹20 ( only outside the museum building)
