Being the southernmost point of India it isn’t hard for the city of Thiruvananthapuram to attract tourist. To add to this there are multiple tourist attractions in the city which regularly attract lots of travelers due to their scenic beauty and their historical importance.

Now when you visit the art gallery then you are bound to visit the Museum which was named after General John Napier, the former Governor General of Madras. The most attractive unique selling point of this museum is its monument in which it is situated.
