Pazhassi Raja Museum & Art Gallery

Pazhassi Raja Museum & Art Gallery is a government heritage attraction at East Hill in Kozhikode, Kerala. Named after Kerala Varma Pazhassi Raja, the museum introduces visitors to archaeological and historical material connected with the region. The Kozhikode District administration describes collections that include antique bronzes, ancient coins and megalithic objects, giving the museum value for anyone interested in the material history of Malabar and Kerala.

An art gallery forms an important part of the visit. Official tourism information highlights works associated with celebrated painters Raja Ravi Varma and Raja Raja Varma, adding a fine-art dimension to the archaeological displays. The combination makes the site suitable for students, families and travellers who want context beyond Kozhikode’s beaches and markets.

The museum is located in the East Hill area of Kozhikode city and can be included in a half-day heritage itinerary with other cultural attractions. Opening days, timings, ticketing and gallery access can change, so visitors should confirm current details before travelling. For a compact introduction to regional archaeology, historic objects and Kerala art, Pazhassi Raja Museum & Art Gallery is one of Kozhikode’s most important museum stops.
