The large Diplodocus cast that dominated the vaulted central hall before it was replaced in 2017 with the skeleton of a blue whale hanging from the ceiling made the museum popular for its display of dinosaur fossils and ornate architecture—sometimes called a cathedral of nature—both exemplified by the large Diplodocus cast that dominated the vaulted central hall before it was replaced with the skeleton of a blue whale hanging from the ceiling.

One of the best museums I have ever visited. This renovated museum makes a huge difference. It has history collections that include current and historical records of animals, plants, fungi, ecosystems, geology, paleontology, climatology, and more. Most of the animals here are stuffed from original skins of animals from different part of the world. This government owned institution is very helpful in understanding the life of plants and animals, equally beneficial for kids and adults.

Established in 1964, the Natural History Museum located in Museum Compound in Thiruvananthapuram and is one of the most exhaustive collections among the Natural History Museums in the country. The display at museum provides exhaustive information, facts and figures concerning the whole of animal kingdom from the tiny creatures such as ants and termites to that of the largest whale. It has an enormous animal collection especially for students of zoology and other biological sciences. A good display of birds collected by the famous Ornithologist Dr. Salim Ali during his study on Birds of Travancore is very interesting for Ornithologist’s and Naturalists. The panoramic display of animals in their natural habitats makes it equally interesting and fascinating to the general public as well. 20 million years old petrified wood fossils displayed near the entrance of this Museum is a major attraction. The museum also has an outdoor exhibit of fossil tree trunks near the entrance.

This was unexpected! A very good, well maintained, clean and informative display of the natural world. There is so much the museum has to offer, although you might be deceived by the ordinary look of the building. Rs. 30 entrance fess is very much justified. Recommended!
