"Had one of the greatest experiences. Being able to touch and hold a real human brain! Gaining a basic understanding of the brain beyond your prior knowledge and actually handling it in real time is a spectacular opportunity. This museum is the only one in India that provides you with this chance. There's so much more to discover here, with a myriad of brain sections to explore. However, taking photos inside isn't allowed."

"Awesome experience for me and my lil kid to be able to see before brains and internal organs on person and to be able to hold them too. There is ample space for public parking. One thing to note is that the museum remains closed on second Saturday of every month. There is a vending machine at the reception and again toilet maintain at the back. Photography is prohibited inside the room."

"Very informative and good for kids especially if someone is inclined towards studying medicine. They give a small session and explain various parts of human brain and their significance. They also let you touch various specimens, like human brain which you may not get to do else where. They answered all questions patiently and with lot interest. Kudos to them for doing this with lots interest and that too for free. Pls plan to be there by 10:30 as they have the session during that time... BTW it's open for public only on Wednesdays and Saturdays."

"The Brain Museum is a fascinating and very educative place to visit. Open only on Wednesdays and Saturdays (both morning and afternoon sessions), it offers a unique opportunity to learn about the human brain and body. Admission is free, and you can explore a wide collection of brain specimens, skeletons, and different body organs, along with brains of a few birds and animals. What makes the visit special is the detailed and engaging explanation given about the anatomy of the human brain and other organs. Towards the end, visitors are even allowed to touch some specimens, which makes the experience even more memorable. The place is well maintained, kids are also allowed, and it's definitely worth a visit for anyone interested in science, medicine, or just learning something new"
