Brain Museum, Bengaluru

EVERY SPECIMEN AT THIS MUSEUM CAUSED US GOOSEBUMPS I would rank NIMHANS Brain Museum among the top places of interest for kids. Every parent mush take their children to this museum without fail. As the name suggests, this is a museum located inside the premises of NIMHANS institute - the world known institute for studies into Neurosciences and Mental health. The museum is hosted in a mid-sized room at ground floor in NIMHANS's Neuribiology Research Center. The wealth of information that this museum provides is of immense scale. The museum hosts real specimens of Human Vital Organs. They have kept for public view real human - Brain, Lungs, Kidneys, Intestine, Lever, Spinal Cord, Skull, Vertebral Column and skeleton. Visitors get to see these specimens right in front of them on a table and can even touch these. An experience that sent goosebumps to us. Next very interesting part of the museum are the preserved specimens of various Brain and Neural diseases/hemorrhage etc. We hear a lot about Brain Hemorrhage, Menengitis, Brain tumor, Brain TB etc. This museum displays actual human brains that have been through these conditions. They also display lever, lungs, eyes etc affected by different diseases. Also on display are various other real human internal organs. The museum provides entry as well as a guided tour/detailed explanation/discussion at no cost. Their main motto is to spread awareness about mental and general well being. We highly appreciate the detailed narration/discussion that we had with the research scientist. Important points : * Photography and Videography of the specimens is strictly prohibited. Let us respect the rule. * Brain museum is located in the research facility of NIMHSNS which is on the opposite side of the hospital section. * We need to park our vehicles in the actual hospital section (NIMHANS left side gate when we go from Dairy Circle towards Lalbag) * Then we need to walk till the main road, take the overbridge and get into the other side campus of NIMHANS. * Security guards helped us promptly in locating parking and guided us about reaching the Brain museum.

I was literally shocked when I enter into the museum, it's not big though just kind of practical room of doctors but it was memorable. They have literally preserve the normal brain and brains with different different disease. If you are curious to know one should definitely visit. Photography is highly prohibited so not able to take any. But do visit only if you are curious. They don't charge. You just have to provide basic details to security for check in.
