Revi Karunakaran Museum
Oh my goodness, have you heard about Mr. Revi Karunakaran and his incredible impact on the coir industry in Kerala? He was an absolute powerhouse and his passion for art is truly awe-inspiring. One of the most amazing things he left behind is the museum dedicated to his art collection - it's seriously something to behold.
The museum is located in Alappuzha and it's definitely one of the top things to check out while you're there.
