I was coming to the Hobby Place for pottery classes during my stay in Mysore and I totally fell in love with it! Each of my friends who visited the place loves it as well! My dearest teacher mrs Manju is super kind and cheerful person, she made me enjoy every moment there and create my first clay pots❤️ She puts her heart to her job which is totally her passion! Cannot wait to come back there.

I should say that this place has created lovely and unforgettable memories for myself and my family. Not to mention a must see place for any type of traveller. First and foremost, I really appreciate the thought and vision of this whole project. The effort and dedication required to procur, transport, rebuild and maintain these masterpieces is unimaginable. All so that future generations know our past way of life and culture. It is gift to all Indians and on a second thought to entire humanity. It is beyond my vocabulary to share my feelings and amazement when I saw this place. Just to make sure I grasp a glimpse of everything there, I and my family went there twice and have had a lovely memorable, enjoyable couple of days. One of the best places that I have visited in my life and am sure everyone visiting this place would agree with me.

Good learning for children, school children and even for adults ; as they see the practical way of science. Being it Physics, Chemistry, Geography, History, Mechanical, Electrical. Electronics, Biology, Space Science, etc, etc. Also you can buy student's learning science kits from the store inside the Museum. Certainly the museum will be Memorable, Impressive & Knowledgeable for all visitors. You'll need atleast 3 hours to visit all exhibits in a slow pace,otherwise 2 hours in fast pace.

This is one of the best places to go herping. We did not go in the monsoon when you can spot many many snakes every night. We were there for 2 days and 2 nights in November but still found 3 different species and 8 different specimens - Malabar pit viper, green vine snake and cat snake.

Many people tend to miss this attraction. Sir M V museum is just around 3-4 kms away from Bhogha Nandeeshwara temple. This is a must see attraction i would say. The visiint hours are from 11 am to 6 pm. You can see the Bharatha Ratna conferred to this legendary engineer along with many more artifacts such as his childhood photos, the table fan, room heater, walking stick he used, the pens with which he used the write, the dictionary which Sir M V was gifted by his teached which he used for 80 years. This is a well preserved museum. Please do visit this place without fail. Please also visit his Samadhi which is just 100 meters away from the museum.
