The Regional Museum of Natural History was inaugurated in May 1995 and adjacent to the Karanji Nature Park and shows the flora and fauna of the southern part of India. By the way, it was the first regional center of the National Museum of Natural History in Nový Delhí.
Payana, who is in a private field, was inaugurated in 2024 and has since become a necessity between tourists visiting Mysur and introduced the automobile heritage and visited the nostalgic journey back in time.
The Museum Museum Mysuru is an outdoor collection of railway exhibits that range from steam locomotives that seized along the length and width of the ground up to 70 and 80 years before they were replaced by diesel and electric locomotives. It also has Maharani salon, which was a luxury salon used by Royals from Mysur. Other outdoor exhibitions include inspection cars, toy train, car car Austin, while the development of the signaling system was displayed in a separate gallery
The choice of museums is also important because they cover a number of topics from human development to natural history, art and culture to transport and innovation.
International Museum Day is celebrated every year on 18 May with the International Council of Museums. The aim of saying ICOM is to raise public awareness of how “museums are an important means of cultural exchange, enrichment of cultures and the development of mutual understanding, cooperation and peace between nations.”
