Natural History Museum

The Natural History Museum, located at Nanthancodu in the Thiruvananthapuram district of Kerala, was established in 1964 and boasts one of the largest collections among the nation’s natural history museums. Following the museum’s modernization attempts, a fantastic effort is made to portray the various species of wild animals in their original habitats. The panoramas that were produced in this way represent the ongoing importance of protecting wildlife and their natural habitats.
