#Shankar Memorial Museum #kayamkulam #alappuzha
The National Cartoon Museum and Art Gallery which is a tribute to the cartoonist Shankar is a good initiative by the Kerala Government. Shri Shankar was a political cartoonist for several decades and the museum gives an opportunity to the public to have an insight to the life of Shri. Shankar through the numerous cartoons, drawing material and tools he used etc exhibited here. The museum is in his birth place Kayamkulam and is maintained well by the Kerala Lalitha Kala Academy. The idea of including the creations of other noted persons like O.V. Vijayan, Abu Abraham, B M Gafoor, Yesudasan Kerala Varma etc is an excellent idea which will make the first cartoon museum in India a research center for the public. It's really a fest to those who are interested in the creations of Shankar and other noted cartoonists.

Alongside each monolith is information about the soil, including the physical characteristics of the soil series, where it is found, its nutrient status, the crops it is best suited for, and recommendations for use and management of land where the soil is present.The soil classifications displayed in the museum are based on the US Department of Agriculture soil taxonomy. Other exhibits include a geologic map of Kerala; a map of Kerala showing the distribution of the eight soil orders represented in the state; collections of rocks and minerals and the physical constituents of soil, such as clay, silt, sand, stone, and gravel; displays explaining how soils are formed; and displays about the relationship of soil to the issues of food security and climate change.

Maha raja Marthanda Varma (1706–58) conquered kayamkulam and annexed its territories to Travancore. It is said that the kingdom of Kayamkulam had a huge army led by a valiant commander Yeruvayil Achutha Warrier and therefore the large army of Travancore attempted three times before they succeeded in capturing Kayamkulam. The present day palace was built in its place by Marthanda Varma after he annexed Kayamkulam to Travancore.

Indian Naval Maritime Museum in Fort Kochi
Indian Naval Maritime Museum is located in Fort Kochi about 2 kms from Fort Kochi Beach. It is managed by Indian Navy near INS Dronacharya. Entry ticket 40/- rs per head, still camera 100/-. Generally I don't enjoy museums as they all keep very similar outdated stuff. However, this museum was interesting with lot of war weapons, misiles, guns and above all a big helicopter. We took a lot of pictures in the museum and near the helicopter. It is one of the top 5 attractions in Fort Kochi and never miss it when you are going to Kerala.
