INTERNATIONAL COIR MUSEUM

This museum was so creative. Everything here was made of coir, the remaining stuff that comes off when we cut coconuts.

The scrapes of coconuts basically.

So creative and beautiful.

The cleanliness and awareness of the museum is awesome.

Loved the ganeshji made of coir.

There were many items made of coir. So beautiful 😍

Loved the services too.

Thanks.

During the Diamond Jubilee year, Coir Board built an International Coir Museum that showcases historical events and the progression of technological breakthroughs in the Coir Sector. On May 27, 2014, the International Museum was opened at the Coir Board Complex in Kalavoor by the Honorable Chief Minister of Kerala, Shri Oommen Chandy. The public may now visit this museum. The International Coir Museum was founded to present the growth of the coir business via the most recent advancements that have sparked a revolution. Alleppey's tourism map mentions this museum as a beautiful location.
The museum also showcases the evolution of the coir industry's traditional methods, such as retting and fiber extraction, the introduction of mechanization in the coir business, etc. Visitors are taken on a brief video tour of the history of the coir industry, including its inception, expansion, and current advancements resulting from ongoing research and development. This will provide nostalgic memories of the coir business. The Museum is connected to a gift shop where guests may enjoy SHOPPING a variety of coir handicrafts, doormats, ornaments, etc.

This museum showcases the building of coir industry. Coir is made from the shell and fiber of coconuts. The industry took hold in the 1850s. Many products of everyday use is produced and sold around the world. They have equipment to make coir from the early days till the 20th century. Fascinating place. I would recommend this place for those interested in history and manufacturing development in the area.

Coir, the golden fibre, is an amazing gift from nature. Here u can experience the process and the utilities of the coir. Here various training programs on coir and allied technologies are also offered.

One of the oldest coir museum where you can find all types of machines using that coir use to build.

Here they have one training center as well which functioning from Monday to Friday .

The International Coir Museum is located in Kalavoor in the Alappuzha district, the hub of coir industry in Kerala. An initiative of the Coir Board of India, this museum will take you on a journey to learn about the evolution and uses of coir from its beginnings as a daily utility to today's diversified uses

Already mentioned that they only take credit and debit cards. The museum will only take 20 to 30 mins of your time . And if you are interested in coir or things from coir are made can be visited apart from that the souvenir shop has some nice items priced reasonably

This small museum is a lovely place to visit when you are in Alleppey. Staff is very helpful. Wonderful pieces are exhibit there. It was very quick to see the museum. Trust me you will not regret. We must appreciate mystic hands 🙏

A great place to learn about coir production. There's a souvenir shop which sells beautiful and useful things at an affordable price.

Everyone should visit this place. Excellent to have experience on coir industry. From thread to finished product and history behind it....

Some awesome coir stuff, interesting to look at the artifacts on display and also an entire house made of coir, it will take max an hour, but we'll worth it!

Glimpse of local art and craftsmanship, must visit place

Amazingly crafted sculptures, made with coir materials. A must visit spot in Alappuzha. One could spent minimum 30 minutes there enjoying the beauty of craft items. Entry fees for adults is 20/-, students -10/- and for foreigners, it's 100/-
There is a shop inside the museum where you can buy craft items, decors and accessories.

Must visit to see the amazing creativity

Nice options. Better to buy many things here. It's cheap over here.

This museum offers a glimpse into the history of coir processing in kerala with lots of hand crafted coir products.

Everyone needs to visit this museum. There are so many things you can learn from here. You can some creative things like Taj Mahal, Eiffel tower made of coir. They have the entire generation of machines used to extract coir. What took 11months to process can be done with in seconds. I am certainly amused by the house made entirely of coir, it is soundproof, fireproof and waterproof.
