Thiruvananthapuram Museums & Zoo
Thiruvananthapuram Museums & Zoo owe its orgin to the joint efforts of Mr. J.A. Brown, former Director of Thiruvananthapuram Observatory, and General Cullen, a former British Resident. A committee was formed in 1855 with the Maharaja of Travancore as patron, General Cullen as President, the Elaya Raja as Vice President and Mr. Allen Brown as Secretary of the Committee and the Director of Museum.
Planning & Education Activities
The Zoo serves as an excellent institution to increase public awareness about nature. Education is therefore an important task ably handled by the Education and Planning section of the Department.
