Celebrating the legacy of a visionary man

Venturing into this privately owned gem is like a captivating journey through time and creativity. It’s a showcase of a stunning array of decorative art and artefacts. Here, you can marvel at one of the largest private collections of Swarovski crystals in the world, alongside elegant ivory pieces and intricate Keralan artefacts that tell the story of a vibrant culture.

Founded in memory of the visionary Revi Karunakaran, who transformed Kerala's coir industry, this museum celebrates his legacy through the eclectic treasures collected by his family over generations. From the breathtaking Tanjore paintings to a remarkable 200 sq. ft. mural crafted from vegetable dyes, each piece invites you to explore the beauty and diversity of art in all its forms.
