Kerala Folklore Museum, Ernakulam / Kochi, Kerala.

What’s amazing about the Kerala Folklore Museum is that it has been made from doors, walls and windows that have been gathered from houses and temples across the southern states of India. 

You step into the pillared lobby and a sense of something special envelops you. Stroll from hall to hall and you are astounded by how many articles have been gathered, restored and exhibited. 

Informative labels on each article assure you that the couple actually understands and values these treasures.
