The Coconut Museum is located inside the compound of the national headquarters of the Coconut Development Board in Kochi. The museum was inaugurated by Sharad Pawar in 2009 when he was the union minister for agriculture. The museum displays an array of artefacts and products produced from various materials obtained from the coconut tree. It mainly provides a platform for exhibition of handicrafts by coconut artisans. The museum also holds objects such as oil paintings and some posters which provide visitors detailed information on coconut farming and its uses, apart from models of Taj Mahal, Kathakali and tiger faces and some working models.
