NIMHANS Brain Museum

The museum had great presentations but there was no staff for guided tour. If nobody explains about the brain samples then what is the purpose of visit. Three star only for the great presentations. But need some improvement.

Nice to gain knowledge.no entry fee.wud surely have been worth the fee had they charged.try to catch the lecture if possible.happens twice a day.check timings

Great place to know our brains and essential body parts. Staff / Instructors are knowledgeable and answer all your queries with relevant questions.

No photography allowed.

You can see and touch real human organs! What more do you want? And a real electron Microscope. Can't add photo because photography inside the museum but have an outside photo of the scientists that got noble prizes.

Really a nice explanation by ma'am on various functionalities and parts of brain, Must visit place, only place in India where we can touch real specimen

Nice place. They explained all the organs very well. Interesting place to known body parts. Kids enjoyed touching the body organs.

The museum is very informative. A good idea would be to put more labels and information in place.

They let you touch human brain, liver, lungs and various other organs. There's also an instructor to clear doubts.

It's was a great experience.
It is a mandatory to visit, learn, to know the importance of BRAIN (think tank).

The brain museum at NIMHANS allows the public to visit only on Wednesdays and Saturdays till 4.30PM. During my visit, a research scholar explained all the other organs of a human body, in addition to the wide variety of brain specimens present there, ranging from baby brains to adult brains, and the brains affected by diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's, and also the brains that were declared dead due to accidents and head injuries. Unfortunately, photography is prohibited inside the museum.

Very good museum really loved it. Must go if ur intrested to become a neuro or a cardiac surgeon.

Good place to check out. But it has limited access, you need to know someone inside to view it.

If you are coming to Nimhans then once u get a free time on Wednesday after lunch come to this museum at 2.30pm and i am sure about that you will not feel boring about this. It will help to know all about brain, and it's working process in a simple way through one of the Nimhans guide.

A good learning experience for people of all ages. They show brain and spinal cord specimens of normal as well as a variety of human diseases. Don't worry if you don't know much about the anatomy and physiology because there would be someone to explain things and answer your questions. You can even compare the brains of various animals!

If you are curious about the brain and it's anatomy, it will be a great experience to you. They will show you the original brain samples and you can even touch it if you want. The staff there will explain everything with examples. You can see brains of human beings as well as other living beings.

You can touch and get to know about human body parts. They also explained what happened to our mind when we met accident or in several situation.one of the best museum in India.

It was an amazing experience. They are not charging any fees as they are conducting only for educational purpose which will be very useful for students and general audience who are curious to know about the human brain and it's function. They will explain by having real human brain and other organs as well like heart, pancreas, liver, etc. Finally they will allow you to touch the organs if you wish. Try to arrive the museum 5 or 10 mins before so that you will understand the concept from the scratch.

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.

Saturday: 10.30 -12.30
2.30 - 4.30

Its an awesome place to visit for science enthusiasts. They explain really well and allow you to touch the organs.

Interesting experience with different brain samples of animals and humans under various conditions and diseases. Also you can touch some if the human organs like brain, lungs, heart, spleen, kidney and liver.

Great tour, really cool to see a brain, you can learn a lot about what happens if you ram your head into a wall at high speeds

Need prior permission to visit. It is under dept. Of neuropathology. Send email to nimhans for pass and also brain tour.

A great hospital with great facility and great doctors. Only thing is that the fourth grade stuffs always give priority to the local language speaking people. But doctors and juniors never do this differentiate.

Beautiful place & one of the best museum I had ever seen. You can touch and feel actual BRAIN and guide teach us so nicely, it was very helpful.

Great explanation with good practical exams.even though u are of different background u can understand good.great experience.

This is a sprawling museum solely dedicated to medical science. The museum is a part of the very famous National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro Sciences off the Hosur Road in Bangalore. This idea was the brain child of Professor S. K. Shankar, who was a teacher of Neuropathology. They started this place first as a mere lab to educated students persuing medicine but then took the noble step of educating the public. They had to first take permission about gathering parts of the brains of dead people during autopsy and now when you enter this place you find it all set. The main motive is to show ]what difference is shown externally on our brains due to any injury or disease. The brains of people suffering from haemorrhage, schizophrenia and other accidents are shown clearly out here. Not only is this a very new and interesting experience but also very educative.
