Revi Karunakaran Museum

 

Revi Karunakaran Museum is a memorial museum built by Betty Karunakaran in the memory of her namesake husband and one of the leading coir industrialist and businessman of Kerala- Revi Karunakaran. Built-in 2003, the renowned, privately-owned museum is a one of the largest of its kind, holding large Swarovski crystals in jade, ivory, porcelain; sculptures, Belgian glassworks, Murano glassworks and Tanjore paintings etc. The family is believed to have an eye for fine arts and has been collecting artefacts and exhibits for at least three generations. Initially, the depository was meant for personal use but after the death of Revi Karunakaran in 2003, Betty decided to open visits for public display.
