Regional Museum of Natural History Mysore

The museum is located on the banks of Karanji Lake, with the Chamundi Hills visible in the background.

The museum exhibits plants, animals and geology of the southern region of India.

The museum provides an extracurricular activity for schools and promotes environmental awareness.

On the grounds of the museum is a small botanical garden with local trees and a collection of plants used in Ayurvedic medicine.

The gardens include an interpretative trail section designed for the visually impaired with not only signs in brail but also a sunken foot bridge to provide a "walk in water" experience of aquatic plants and fishes.
