Adjacent to the Government Museum in
Bangalore is the
Vishveshwaraya Industrial And Technological Museum, the second of its kind
in India.
Set up by CSIR, the main objective behind its establishment is to
inculcate in the people a science consciousness. This museum is a tribute
to sir M. Vishweshwaraiah, a statesman who worked untiringly to bring
science and technology to the common man.
The museum portrays the application of science and technology in industry
and human welfare. An airplane and a steam engine are displayed in its
compound. Inside there are five galleries, each dedicated to a particular
aspect of technology.
Approach the room of electronics and the door opens on its own accord,
step in and the lights come on, seat yourself and music fills the room.
You can monitor your voice as you speak, and learn how things are made -
from motion pictures to alarms. Seminars, demonstrations, lectures and
film shows on scientific subjects are organised periodically. The mobile
science exhibition, a special feature of the museum, tours all over the
state throughout the year.
