About Chacha Nehru Children’s Museum

Chacha Nehru Children’s Museum is located at Thycaud in Thiruvananthapuram and has served as a child-focused cultural attraction since 1981. Often called the Doll Museum, it is best known for displays of dolls representing different regions, costumes and cultures, including examples from India and abroad. The collections also extend to masks, postage stamps, art and science-oriented exhibits, giving children several themes to explore within one visit.

Rather than presenting history through dense text, the museum uses familiar objects and visual displays that can make cultural differences and everyday life easier for younger visitors to understand. It can be a useful stop for families staying in central Thiruvananthapuram, especially when looking for an indoor activity. The museum is associated with the Keralam State Council for Child Welfare area at Thycaud.

Since operating hours and access arrangements can change, families should confirm the current schedule before making a special trip.
