Arakkal Museum Kannur

Arakkal family during yesteryears. There is very little to see.

But, those little items are neatly kept and
footwear is not allowed inside.
Was there anything that caught my attention? Probably no.

Small, but Interesting museum with good info boards and articles used by the Arakkal Royal family, exhibited in a wing of the old Arakkal Palace. The building overlooks the sea.
The carved furniture look well preserved and beautiful.

Small museum you will have to park your vehicle outside as there is no parking available. They will charge you extra if you want to click pictures

One of the worst maintained museum in Kerala, but one of the unique museums which tells us about the Arackal ruling history and legacy along with their relations with Dutch

It was a nice experience to see our old culture remains and all. Old portraits of the rulers, their belongings etc are also present. A should watch place.

One of the Good place to visit in kannur. Lot of things and pictures were found in the place.

Museum Of A Kerala Royal Family.

June 20 2021

This is a museum dedicated to the Arakkal Ali Rajas, the only Muslim royal family of Kerala. The museum is housed in the Darbar Hall, which is a section of the Arakkal Kettu, or the Royal Palace. It was opened in 2005 after being renovated by the Government of Kerala. Surviving members of the royal family still live in the Arakkal Kettu.

The museum is spread over two floors, ground and first, in a heritage Kerala style building. It is not being maintained properly, and the old wooden windows were not hooked and were swinging with the breeze when I went upstairs. We saw many artefacts and royal heirlooms in the rooms which still had the antique furniture which was used in the good old days. We saw an old telephone, swords and daggers, and even an old telescope. There were many paintings depicting a bye-gone era and some copies of the Holy Quran. There were many placards depicting the history of the royal family and the influence they had with the European and other dignitaries.

The museum is worth a visit for the students of history. It is closed on Mondays and open from 10 am to 5 pm on the other days. There is a nominal entry fee.

Royal house turned to a museum with some great artefacts, paintings and ancient maps. A very calming and enriching experience.great place to visit!

Kannur’s rich and vibrant landscape is host to the great Arakkal Kettu museum, former residence of the only Muslim royal family in Kerala, the Arakkal Ali Rajas. It is an architectural marvel and you can get transported to a different era, with heirlooms and artifacts of their reign adorning the entire building. Now under the purview of the Archaeological and Tourism Department, it is a must-visit site in the district and it helps one gain an understanding of the cultural diversity that helped shape its current form.
Kerala tourism.

It's a historic place and it is a must-visit site in the district and it helps one gain an understanding of the cultural diversity that helped shape its current form, former residence of the only Muslim royal family in Kerala, the Arakkal Ali Rajas.

Place with great history
Most underrated tourist place in Kannur
Showcases the oldest muslim culture in Kannur

Arakkal kingdom was a former city-state on the Malabar Coast, ruled by a dynasty of the same name. The only muslim ruling tamil in kerala. The ruling King was called ali Raja and the ruling queen was called Arakkal Beevi.now section of their royal palace converted as museum by the government of kerala.inside the museum royal belongings kept as historical things.have to pay20 rupee entrance fee, for camera 25rupee.very less parking area.

A Museum showcasing some old artifacts and good paintings, but the place could really do with better maintenance and parking facilities

The durbar hall section of the palace has been converted into a museum by the Government of Kerala.  It is located in kannur. Bus services also there. Very nice place to see.

I didn't like the place. Although it has a collection of all the antique pieces, I feel it should have been well maintained. The place itself looks very old and cannot recognise that it's a museum.

The place is too small. Not many artefacts are there for display and don't expect to have a tour of the royal palace, you will be shown a durbar hall and few rooms. Must visit if you are a history enthusiast.

Hardly anything to see accept the descendent board of Arrakkal family and a small write up on their history. Avoidable

Nice museum.st.angelo fort and aayikkara seaview bridges nearby.mappila bay also.u can watch fishing here.

Waste of money, there are only 2 room and very less collections and complete time to see the museum is only 5 min, very bad experience.

It's a small museum with details posted on its walls. If you don't expect a bigger museum or lots of information, then it's surely a place to visit.
