THIS IS A NIGHT VISION OF THE
TRIVANDRUM NAPIER MUSEUM MANDAPAM.

The Napier Museum is an absolute gem of
architectural exuberance, combining traditional
Kerala styles with Chinese and Mughal influences.
The 19th century English architect, Chisholm,
gave in a few touches and ended up with a
building that is guaranteed to leave an
impression on your mind. The museum houses a
rare collection of archeological & historic
artifacts.

The interior is every bit as intriguing as
the exterior with pink and bobby blue stripes alternating with stripes of yellow and cherry
red, scalloped arches of a banana yellow,
elaborately carved balconies, the whole,
linked together with red and white lattice
work and mock friezes. The collections are
as varied and electric as the building and
you will spend a pleasant few hours browsing
through them. The museum has a unique
natural air-conditioning system.
