A modest collection but an interesting snapshot of the history of the area. Lovely gardens and a nice view make it worth a brief visit. Seems to be very popular for school trips - there were several coachloads there when we visited. Rather than finding them a distraction, we loved to see them so excited!

The building earlier was a criminal court. And latter it becomes pazhassiraja archeological museum. The Pazhassiraja Archaeological Museum is a museum and art gallery located in Kozhikode, Kerala, India. The museum is named after Pazhassi Raja, a freedom fighter who resisted British rule in the 18th century. The museum has a rich collection of artifacts from the Megalithic period to the 20th century, including pottery, sculptures, coins, and weapons. The museum is open from 9:00 am to 4:30 pm, Tuesday to Sunday. Admission is free. The museum is located about 5 kilometers from Kozhikode town.

Better arrangement of items. Placement is better than krishnapuram palace. But as name denotes, it has nothing to do with pazhassiraja. This was collectors banglaw. The underground was actual jail. Good place to visit if you are an archaeology lover. Worth a visit.

Awesome museum which is well maintained. Kept clean at all times. Good outing with family and friends. It's more than 200 years old. There was a prison in the basement before being converted into a museum. Nice and green butterfly garden. Has swings for kids. Ticket for adults is for ₹25.

The museum and art gallery is named after King Pazhassi Raja, known as the 'Lion of Kerala'. Pazhassi Raja Kerala Varma, who belonged to the Padinjare Kovilakam of the Kottayam royal family, resisted British colonization by resorting to guerilla warfare in the hilly areas of Wayanad. The museum honours the memory of this great freedom fighter who was killed in the beginning of the 19th century. The building was constructed in 1812 and was then known as East Hill Bungalow. It was used as the residence for the British Collectors of Kozhikode. Malabar Collector William Logan, author of the Malabar Manual and H. V. Conolly, the District Magistrate who was killed inside the building by four leaders of the Moplah Revolt, also lived here. Even after Independence, the bungalow was used as the office of the District Collector till 1976, after which it was converted into an archaeological museum. The first few exhibits here were brought from the Thrissur archaeological museum. Later, it began to display various relics unearthed from different parts of Malabar. In 1980, the bungalow was renamed as the Pazhassi Raja Museum. The museum, presently managed by the State Archaeology Department underwent major renovation in the 1990s. The Pazhassi Raja Museum, situated at East Hill, about five kilometers from Kozhikode, is a simple but elegant structure built according to the Kerala style of architecture. The neatly manicured lawns and the sprawling compound make for a tranquil atmosphere. Must visit 🫶

This is situated in a calm location. It's a great place to spend your spare time if you are visiting Calicut. A nice small museum.

A good place with collections from stone age. Stone axe, tools , iron weapons, burial urn, etc are displayed with descriptions. Well knowledged staff members help us and answers politely for all our doubts. Out side the museum, tables are placed under the trees which are good for relaxing. From here around 15kms there is Kappadu beach, where Vasco da Gama landed for the first time.
