About

Visvesvaraya Industrial and Technological Museum (VITM) is a hands-on science museum on Kasturba Road in central Bengaluru, set beside Cubbon Park and close to the Chinnaswamy Stadium. Established in memory of Bharat Ratna Sir M. Visvesvaraya, it is a constituent unit of the National Council of Science Museums under the Ministry of Culture, Government of India, and was opened in 1962. The museum's galleries cover themes such as electricity and electrotechnics, engines and industrial technology, and space technology, with interactive exhibits that let children and adults explore how science works. Popular attractions include a Dinosaur Corner, a full-size replica of the Wright Brothers' Flyer with a flight simulator, and the Science on a Sphere visualisation system, which uses multimedia projection on a large globe. VITM also hosts science shows, activities and special events for school groups and families, and offers a virtual gallery on its website.
