Birla Science Museum, Science museum in Hyderabad, India.
Birla Science Museum is a science museum in Hyderabad housing exhibits on physics, chemistry, astronomy, technology, and natural history spread across multiple levels. The halls combine objects and displays with hands-on elements, allowing visitors to engage with different fields of scientific knowledge.
The museum opened in 1985 as part of the Birla Educational Trust's effort to strengthen scientific learning across southern India. Its creation marked a commitment to making modern scientific knowledge available to students and the general public in the region.
The museum brings scientific ideas to life through displays and activities that welcome people of all ages to explore and learn. Visitors encounter spaces where concepts become visible and understandable, breaking down barriers between science and everyday curiosity.
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.
