Introduction

Chacha Nehru Children’s Museum is located less than a kilometer north of Trivandrum central bus station. Set up in 1980, it is one of the city’s more popular museums and has been named after India’s first Prime Minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru who was very fond of children. Browse the museum for its impressive collection of over 2000 dolls from all over the world. In addition to dolls, there is a rare collection of stamps, masks and paintings. You will come across a mini aquarium home to an array of colorful fish. What is wholly remarkable is the museum also preserves the first issue of the children’s literature in Malayalam.

Truly a fascinating collection! It is worth a brief stopover on a sightseeing excursion of Trivandrum.
