Kerala Folklore Theatre & Museum

Witness Kerala's splendid folklore traditions

Step into this three-storied edifice and take a stroll down history where every encounter is tinged with the culture and heritage of bygone times. The Kerala Folklore Theatre and Museum is a unique venture to preserve the splendid folklore traditions of the state. From artefacts like masks and sculptures in wood, stone and bronze, to costumes of traditional and ritual art forms, from musical instruments and traditional jewelry, to manuscripts of rare medicinal and astrological secrets (even Stone-Age utensils!) are all preserved in this museum with the utmost care. At the theatre, one can witness a range of performances from drama to dance – creating a tangible, invaluable cultural experience.
