Choose your city and interest
A museum visit can make a manageable city outing without a full holiday itinerary. Pick the collection that interests you, then confirm opening days, admission and travel arrangements with the venue.
Bengaluru · Visvesvaraya Industrial and Technological Museum
Consider it for: an interest in science, engineering and technology. The museum is on Kasturba Road. Karnataka Tourism suggests allowing two to three hours; choose your own pace and check which special shows require separate tickets.
Before you go: check the current admission categories, show availability and accessibility arrangements.
Delhi · National Museum
Consider it for: an introduction to art and cultural history. Start with a collection that catches your interest rather than trying to cover every gallery in one visit.
Before you go: use the official visitor and access information to confirm the current location, opening arrangements, tickets and any assistance you need.
