Well researched, interactive, beautifully created and laid out-- this museum is a must-see if you want to learn about Indian music. Laid out across 3 floors, it is recommended to start from the 3rd floor and walk down to the 2nd and then the first and finally back to the ground. The place pulls you in as you get off the elevator and enter the 3rd floor with a lovely animated film and the experience only gets better and better from there. Do stop and hear the music, songs, etc at the interactive displays. Keep at least 3 hours to see the whole museum. There is a cafe and a shop at the ground level and parking in the basement on site. The entry fee is INR 250 for adults and INR 150 for children. Open every day except Monday from 10 am to 6 pm. Kudos to the creators!

This is a place full of knowledge and is a pure treasure for those who seek an insight to the human species’ evolution. It has a collection of all the remaining found as a proof on the evolution of Karnataka history as well as the century wise enhancement of mankind. The ground floor has all the descriptions of Karnataka history when the Mughals ruled. The first floor is full of mysore style paintings. There is another hall in the building where all the sculptures like the Buddha and Vishnu are kept. Then there is a building dedicated to the excellent work of art produced by Venkatappa. This is a display of all this accolades and art works. One awesome trip to the journey of history of Karnataka and to somewhat human evolution.

The museum has an amazing collection of brains. Daphne conducted an excellent tour where she first went over the parts of a human brain. We were able to hold and examine brains, spinal cord, heart, liver, lungs, kidney and other organs. She then gave us an overview of all the diseased and injured brains in their collection. Highly recommend this hidden gem which is free.
