Offices & Attractions at the Curia
The Syro-Malabar Major Archbishop's Curia (the headquarters of the Syro-Malabar Church) houses the office of the Major Archbishop, tribunals of the archiepiscopate, and the St Thomas Christian Museum.
As you traverse the beautiful road and reach the Curia, you see an engraving of St Thomas with those truly momentous words: "My Lord, My God".

There is a garden in front of the office and a few beautiful trees. On either side, there are plantations and some cultivation. From the tall hillock, you can see the surroundings over a large area. St Thomas Christian Museum
Towards the right of the Curia is the St Thomas Christian Museum. With elegant architecture, eye-catching wall paintings, and a sylvan background, the museum is a never-to-miss attraction for any visitor.
The museum houses several historical data, pictures, light and sound programs, archeological stuff, art forms, and writings connected to the works of St Thomas the Apostle since his arrival to India in AD 52. The paintings on the compound wall of the museum depict various stages in the Apostle's life. The Museum also has several models of churches, old copies of publications, and themes used by early St Thomas Christians.
