Krishna Menon Museum

Krishna Menon Museum is a museum and art gallery located at East Hill in Kozhikode, Kerala, adjacent to the Pazhassi Raja Museum. Housed in the former East Hill Bungalow, it is dedicated to V. K. Krishna Menon, former Indian diplomat and Defence Minister. The museum displays his personal belongings, gifts, documents, and a collection of paintings, coins and artefacts, offering insight into his life and Kerala's cultural heritage.

Visitors can expect a small museum complex set in a heritage bungalow at East Hill surrounded by landscaped grounds. Inside are galleries displaying personal belongings, correspondence, gifts and memorabilia of V. K. Krishna Menon, along with an art gallery featuring paintings by renowned Indian artists including Raja Ravi Varma, coins, murals and artefacts. The adjacent Pazhassi Raja Museum can be visited in the same compound.

The museum is housed in the East Hill Bungalow, a colonial-era building that once served as the residence of British officials in Malabar. It was later converted into a museum dedicated to V. K. Krishna Menon (1896-1974), who was born in Kozhikode and served as India's Defence Minister and diplomat to the United Nations. The museum preserves his personal effects, gifts received during official visits, and documents related to his public life.

The museum preserves the legacy of a prominent public figure from Kozhikode and showcases Kerala's artistic heritage through its art gallery, which includes works by Raja Ravi Varma and other artists, as well as collections of coins, sculptures and traditional artefacts that reflect the region's cultural history.
