Museum of Zoology, of St Berchmans College, was established in 1928. The Museum aims to impart awareness on animal fauna, generate curiosity on life forms and evoke interest in animal conservation among the students and public. Museum@SB is a rich repository exemplifying animal diversity in its wide spectrum. Over thousands of animals of the world’s rare fauna in its bewildering size and shapes decorate the Museum. Fossils of the marine arthropods-trilobites which lived in the Cambrian era, Kangaroo, duck-billed platypus, echidna, flamingo, lemur, the whole human skeleton, and body parts are some of the attractions of the museum. The rich collection of indigenous and local fauna including fishes and snakes adds richness to the museum. Well-curated specimens displayed in the best way add to the stimulating ambience of the museum. It serves as an erudite learning resource for students and research scholars and enthrals the public as well. The museum is arguably one of the best of its kind housed in any of the colleges in Kerala. A feeling of awe and a cherishing memory will linger forever in every visitor’s mind
