Good experience. My son loved it.

Located at T.N.Pura Road, Siddhartha Nagar, opposite Nandini Milk Dairy, Mysuru, Karnataka 570011, the Regional Museum of Natural History is among those tourist places in Mysore which are bound to attract nature lovers. One of the units of the National Museum of Natural History, the museum was constructed in 1995 to educate people about nature and its preservation. The museum has three galleries, namely the Biological Diversity, Life through the Ages, and the Discovery Center. These galleries cover a lot of varied topics, including but not limited to the evolution of life, mangrove forests, tropical rainforests, as well as a mini weather station. There is also a small botanical garden within the museum that houses several local trees and medicinal plants.Timings: 10:00 AM to 6:00 PMclosed on Tuesday

I visited the University of Mysore in the year 2016 for the Indian science congress 103rd edition.I was a participant in the KVPY contest. The ISC was inaugurated by the Honorable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. During the 5 day event, we visited the Regional Museum and I would say that was a once in a lifetime experience being at age of 16, I was very fascinated by watching all the historical Items and the information shared by the guides. We observed various rock samples, evolution of Humans, butterfly samples.I would like to thank the Museum authority for providing us the opportunity.

Its a good place for kids. Not that adults will be bored. Museum is located in a nice garden will lots of trees and shade. Infotainment is what u get here. Not very famous among tourists but if u have a couple of hours this place wont be a waste of time

The entry to this place is free, this is the best part because now a days anywhere you go you cannot enter without a fee. The museum has different divisions one is on the seed and plants, then evolution of Earth and living beings, forest, endangered animals etc. It is a great place for kids (age group 6 and above) who start to know and learn about evolution, animals (real stuffed animals, taxidermy insects displayed) plants etc. A must visit place in Mysore, well maintained, quite and educational.

This museum is one of the regional museum of natural history from a series that is found across India. There is no entry fee. The exhibits are arranged in a simple and easy to understand format. A must vist for any student who wants to quench thier thirst for knowledge.Their exhibits on seeds and evolution of life are a must visit.

Beautiful and informative place for children.

The RMNH’s subordinate office and museum is in mysore. It is non-formal environmental education center to create awareness among public through exhibit galleries and by various educational activities about nature, environment wildlife and its conservation.

Good place to enhance the knowledge about the evolution of life on earth. Displays are very good. Most people dont know about this place. Located opposite to MYMUL milk dairy, Bannur road, but a bit interior from main road. A short video show about interaction between human and wildlife is also shown here. Everything is free of cost. Parking is good.

Pros-1. Free of cost.2. Guides are very friendly and helpful.3. Stunning real fossils.3. Real stuffed animals and other organisms.4. Vast variety of natural life.Cons- There are no cons. It is just absolutely perfect.

Wonderful display.. With a complete detail and overview of India and its heritage.. Along with some world facts.

One of the most underrated museum in mysore. the place is pretty simple secluded and not a lot of people visit the place, maybe that is the reason its good, best place to take your kid. and show to gain knowledge on various things from insects to dinosaurs, the best part is entry is free unlike other tourist spots in mysore.nicely maintained and a pretty good place for a person to find some silence and peace and still enjoy what is around him.

The place is not as good as what one might expect. However for children its a good visit to get educated about the various forms of life in as close quarters as possible.The place is usually empty and quiet except the chatter of bored employees

The 1st section lays special emphasis on the Western Ghats. It exhibits the rich biodiversity of the Western Ghats. Then theres the section on tropical rainforest, of various countries that have these forests. Theres the section on the significance of wetlands  and the mangrove forests. Theres the section depicting a variety of marine habitat. Then, theres a large exhibit educating against the destruction natural diversity. The section on Life through the Ages is a walk-through tunnel, depicting evolution of life on earth. There is also a section on the different theories about how dynasaurs came to being on earth.The museum is well connected by buses, rickshaw, & cabs.

Must visit site for teachers and students. Museum covers zoology, botany, paleontology, environment etc. All natural sciences students must visit this place. Museum well illustrates the menace of plastics. Dont miss this place if youre are science student. Besides the place is very quiet and serine.

Must Visit For School kids and Family too.Very informative and awesome art sculpture s. Very well arranged and free access. Not expected and went in but after watching we thought we are lucky to collect so much information. Big Thank you. All they need is advertising !

No parking fee.This museum is helpful especially for children and science students of all age.Informative and well maintained .If you finish your visit to Chamundi hill, then on the way you can spend some time in this museum and gain some knowledge about various creatures .If you are in Mysuru, then this is the best place to spend your valuable free time .

Excellent place

This is surprisingly good and rather less known place in mysore. Parking and entry is free. It is also less crowded. Good variety of animals, plants and a walk through that gives a glimpse of human evolution.

One of the well maintained place in Mysore. Best place to visit for people who are interested in nature. There are real animals/birds which are stuffed and preserved. For me the most attractive thing in the museum was skeleton of blue whale. There is no entry fee and parking is also free. Worth visiting.

Closed on weekends also? Every Monday holiday it says on gate, but when we went on Saturday also it was closed Oct 3 2020.

Nice😎

My son had visited this place as part of his school trip. He then took all of us to watch. Its a great place to go to...to get to know a lot about dinosaurs millets Mysore and beautiful puma on display.3 hours well spent there

It is a pretty good place for people interested in natural history. They have few upcoming sections too. Really cool place.

There is nothing interesting here really. Completely deserted place. Looks like under funded or simply stolen money alloted for this. Typical government organization. They should visit museum of natural history of other countries and learn from them how to build a museum.

One of the prominent attraction of historical city of Mysore is Regional Museum of Natural History. It was established in 1995. Its main objective is to provide awareness about environment and its conservation. This museum tries to educate people to preserve the natural treasures of the country.We can find variety of models of various animals, audio visual aids

Awesome place

The Regional Museum of Natural History at Mysore, was inaugurated on 20 May 1995. It was undertaken by the government of India, ministry of environment and forests. The Discovery center consists of a discovery room, a computer room, a vivarium and a mini weather station. Children can handle, examine and study specimens in the discovery room. A mini theater, a sound booth are also present to keep children occupied. The bioscience computer room facilitates studying biology through interactive and multimedia techniques at a high-school or college level.On the grounds of the museum is a small botanical garden with local trees and a collection of plants used in Ayurvedic medicine.The gardens include an interpretative trail section designed for the visually impaired with not only signs in brail but also a sunken foot bridge to provide a walk in water experience of aquatic plants and fishes.

Very good place for childrens and very informative. They conduct few compitation like quiz and paint based on wild life for children.There is an auditorium..they show wild movies on weekends for children...

How can I not write about this place from a long time. This is the place where I first played a PC game related to Science on a field trip from Primary School. Gosh the Win 95 systems are still there. Regional Museum of Natural History is about 6Km from Mysore and 142Km from Bangalore. The Regional museum of Natural history has galleries that deal with different topics regarding Biological diversity,Ecology,Conservation of Nature and Evolution.The museum also runs the theatre show which is about the wild life and the museum is all about life evolution on planet earth and history.Museum has artifacts which were extremely informative, knowledgeable and fun to learn. Definitely a must visit with young children and Kids.Kids will definitely enjoy to see lifesize stuffed wild animals in original skin

Very good info. Very few people know about this. Make it popular so that tourists visit this as well henceforth.

The museum mainly focus on natural and biological topics. Its a developing museum in the center of Mysore. Its a good place to take your kids. The entry is free for all. It have got a good picnic spot outside the main building. They have a lunch break in the afternoon for one hour, so better void that time.

Must visit as it tells a lot about our past. Not crowded also. Well maintained

Awesome and nice place

Regional Museum of Natural History is a good place to visit The exibits are very interesting and educational.The place is well maintained. There is wheel chair availability for the specially privileged.

Small museum. Good for kids. The place is not known and visible from the main road and does not have too many visitors. The organisation should do something to increase the footfall.

I find this place brilliant and underrated. It has a lot of history and they try and maintain it nicely. Though they do not charge a single penny from its visitors. It is phenomenal the kind of work they do there. It is perfect for children to see science alive.

Very good

This is one the best places that we have in Mysore! A must visit place for everyone especially the kids. They have a display of various archeological materials including the model of a forest, aquarium and lot many more things. It has a very beautiful lawn where kids and adults can sit and have a fun family time!

Great place to visit in Mysuru, opposite to Nandini Milk Federation.

Its free and a student/ GK enthusiast can spend an entire day here easily.

Awesome place every one should visit

Give it a Try, Seriously Government maintain Building but trust me it is worth your time...

Worth the visit. A lot to be learnt here. We spent a good 3 hours here and the kids loved it. Entry free parking free is a welcome relief from all the other places we visited in Mysore. The place is a little confusing to get to if you dont follow G maps.

Good education for kids. Good place to see and learn about nature. Bigger than it looks from outside. And entrance is free.

Requires more maintenance. And the exhibits need to be updated a bit more. The information provided for the exhibits need to be a bit more specific and special, in a manner such a way that theyre only available in the muesuem. Also, if proper guides are placed at the exhibits, itd be highly helpful and will also make the museum to be more popular.

Best place to learn about nature.

A once-beautiful museum, now on its way to its ruins. There are many, many good exhibits in the museum, and it is a good place to bring kids for an educational trip.From one perspective, it is a really good place, giving free entrance to all, without taking a single penny in the name of tickets. I guess this itself is the cause for its downfall, as the place is very poorly maintained.

Excellent place. Must see place for children.Please add fees to make it grow stronger.

Well maintained museum on human/animal evolution. Free entry. Free parking. The huge Banian tree at the entrance gives a super feel. A big stegasoraus statue inside the museum was the show stopper. My son enjoyed the museum visit. There is one section which has a small collection of animal bones. One section on various seeds.

It was Good and nice. There are very nice representations of how humans and nature evolved and also different types of Animal dupes portrayed / created and placed there. There are also other things by which you can learn about how human body works and what it contains...!
