The Napier Museum is an art and natural history museum situated in Thiruvananthapuram (Trivandrum), the capital city of Kerala, India.
It was established in 1855. In 1874, the old Museum Building was demolished and foundation for the new building was laid. The new building was named after Lord Napier, the Governor of Madras from 1866-1872.
The architectural masterpiece was designed by Robert Chisholm, the consulting Architect of the Madras Government and the construction was completed in 1880. Napier Museum is a landmark in the city with its unique ornamentation and architectural style with gothic roof and minarets. The Indo-Saracenic structure also boasts a natural air conditioning system.

The Museum houses a rare collection of archaeological and historic artifacts, bronze idols, ancient ornaments, a temple chariot, ivory carvings and life-size Kathakali dancers. The figurines preserved here amply illustrate the varying features of South-Indian sculpture from the 8th to 18th century.

Timings :
Open from Tuesdays to Sundays - 10 am to 4.45 pm. On Wednesdays, the museum opens only at 1 pm.

ENJOY THE DAYS, DEAR FRIENDS.

Hello,JP,
A very nice compilation of three shots of the same place. It enables the viewer to have a really architectural look at this interesting building with a really original design.
The colours are well managed and the details well seen.
Hmm, I recognize some patterns I see in Bulgarian carpets and Indian(Latin America) blankets.
What does it prove?:)
I like the shot and it surely goes into my favourites
Stay happy.
