Archaeology Museum: Founded in 2015, the museum exhibits both archaeological specimens and the objects of local heritage. It was conceptualized and started for the students of History with Archaeology and Museology by the collection of artefacts donated by students and the teachers. Since its inception, the museum has been accumulating numerous objects reflecting the cultural heritage of the region and archaeological materials. Archaeological exploration conducted by Dr. Cyriac Jose, Asst. Professor of Archaeology in the Meenachil River basin with the permission of the Archaeological Survey of India during 2018-2019, 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 has also yielded various materials to the museum. Today, the collection of the museum consists of objects belonging to the Paleolithic, the Neolithic and the Iron Age -Megalithic and Early Historic periods, materials from the Harappan Civilization, Medieval and Modern periods. Collection includes coins, palm leaf and modern art. The Museum provides an opportunity to graduate students to do their experimental learning on documentation and exhibition of museum objects and it also familiarizes them with the basics of conservation.
