One for the history lovers
The Arakkal museum is located close to the heart of Kannur city, and is a place that mist be visited to understand the history behind the Arakkal Ali Raja family, the only Muslim royal family in Kerala. The museum is based within the former residence of the royal family, and transports you to architecture, heirlooms and artefacts from a different era. This is a must visit for people who love their history. The museum is closed on Mondays and charges a nominal entry fee. The staff is friendly, and one gentleman in particular, ensured that we were guided appropriately on the history all around.Â

Museum Of A Kerala Royal Family.
This is a museum dedicated to the Arakkal Ali Rajas, the only Muslim royal family of Kerala. The museum is housed in the Darbar Hall, which is a section of the Arakkal Kettu, or the Royal Palace. It was opened in 2005 after being renovated by the Government of Kerala. Surviving members of the royal family still live in the Arakkal Kettu. The museum is spread over two floors, ground and first, in a heritage Kerala style building. It is not being maintained properly, and the old wooden windows were not hooked and were swinging with the breeze when I went upstairs. We saw many artefacts and royal heirlooms in the rooms which still had the antique furniture which was used in the good old days. We saw an old telephone, swords and daggers, and even an old telescope. There were many paintings depicting a bye-gone era and some copies of the Holy Quran. There were many placards depicting the history of the royal family and the influence they had with the European and other dignitaries. The museum is worth a visit for the students of history. It is closed on Mondays and open from 10 am to 5 pm on the other days. There is a nominal entry fee.

Small museum dedicated to the local Muslim royal family of the area
This small museum is specially dedicated to the local Muslim royal family of the area. They were the only royal family from Kerala. It is not interesting for people who are not interested about the local culture.

Visit only if you have spare time
There is not much to see at this museum. It is actually the house of some king / queen who were there during British time. Not a big place. We did not find it to be interesting. Entry fee is ₹20/- per adult. Can be easily avoided.
