Visvesvaraya Industrial and Technological Museum

Visvesvaraya Industrial and Technological Museum is a technology museum in Bengaluru with exhibitions on electricity, space exploration, engines, robotics and biotechnology across several floors. The rooms contain experimental setups and models that visitors can operate themselves to understand technical processes.

The museum opened in 1962 as one of the first scientific institutions of this kind in India. It bears the name of an engineer and statesman who planned irrigation projects and dams across the country in the early 20th century.

Named after an engineer from Karnataka whose technical achievements remain visible in everyday Indian life today. School groups often use the space as a place to test practical skills and develop interest in natural sciences.

The exhibitions suit both children and adults, with many stations inviting hands-on testing. Guided tours are available in several languages, and the rooms accommodate larger groups comfortably.

The galleries allow visitors to generate electricity, launch model rockets and operate industrial machinery. These direct experiences make technical principles tangible that often seem abstract in books.
