The Ethnological Museum is one of the most informative and
interesting storehouse for people who want to know about the Tribes of Kerala.
The Museum is a part of the Kerala Institute for Research, Training and
Development Studies of Scheduled Castes and Tribes (KIRTADS), and houses a
large collection of artefacts, costumes, jewellery, household utensils, nets
and traps, wood carvings, agricultural tools, musical instruments, and
ceremonial paraphernalia of all the Tribal communities in Kerala. There are also
displays of the various cultural features and backgrounds of each and every
Tribe living in Kerala. Besides, there are the costumes of various performing
arts and handicrafts made by the members of Schedules communities. Research and
development work done by the government for the development of indigenous
groups is also well documented.
It was established in 1973 with an objective to collect a
wide range of items of cultural materials from the Tribes in order to assist
and guide researchers and students perceiving tribal studies. The Ethnological
Museum is dedicated to preserve and interpret the rich and unique culture of
the indigenous people.
