Birla Science Museum

Birla Science Museum, Science museum in Hyderabad, India.

B. M. Birla Science Museum is a grey-brick building in Hyderabad with a pale colonnaded wing, a tall glass curtain wall under a curved metal lattice dome, and red raised letters reading "B.M. BIRLA SCIENCE MUSEUM". Civil engineer P. A. Singaravelu constructed the complex, which holds a planetarium, museum, science centre, art gallery, dinosaurium and India's first private space museum.

The planetarium wing opened on 8 September 1985, inaugurated by Chief Minister N. T. Rama Rao, on Naubat Pahad hill near Hussain Sagar. The museum itself came later, as the second phase of the science centre, opening in 1990. Civil engineer P. A. Singaravelu constructed the complex. A space museum, curated by Pranav Sharma, was added in July 2019, and the Dinosaurium opened in 2000.

The complex takes its name from the Birla family, and its planetarium is one of three Birla Planetariums in India, alongside those in Kolkata and Chennai. The Space Museum, curated by Pranav Sharma, narrates ISRO's history through images and illustrations, with more than forty-three contributors to the narration. Planetarium shows run about 35 minutes, four times daily in Telugu, three in English and once in Hindi.

The museum sits near Tank Bund Road and welcomes visitors from Tuesday through Sunday with guided tours available in English, Hindi, and Telugu. It helps to allow several hours to move through the exhibition levels and try out the interactive stations at your own pace.

Inside the building sits a planetarium with advanced projection systems that display constellations and astronomical events across an artificial sky. This show uses modern technology to offer visitors a view of the cosmos that would otherwise be difficult to observe.
