Set up in 1992, the Folklore Museum is a treasure house of quaint musical instruments, occupational implements and models of folk arts. The exhibits include rare articles like 'Chandravalayam', a small percussion instrument and 'Nanthuni', a sweet sounding musical instrument made of wood and string. Housed on the first floor of the Koyikkal Palace, the museum also has a wide range of household utensils including wooden kitchenware, brass and copperware. 'Thaliyola' (old manuscripts), 'Chilambu' (a sort of anklet) used by Umayamma Rani and Maravuri (dress material made of the bark of trees) etc. are well preserved at the museum.
