The Archaeological museum at Thrissur is located in
the Kollengode Palace, which is an architectural delight. This
magnificent building houses a collection of murals from all over Kerala
and preserves an extraordinary treasure of Veerakallu (Veerakallu or
hero stones are stone engravings and sculptures of heroes of the bygone
era), temple models, olagrandhangal (manuscripts on dry palm leaves),
megaliths etc. It is interesting to note that most of the exhibits at
the archaeological museum were recovered from the forests of Thrissur
and Wayanad.
