Bangalore or Bengaluru is perhaps the most vibrant and soulful city. The hundreds and thousands of people moving into the city each year for work and studies can bear testimony to the rich culture and egalitarian spirit of this beautiful city.

Nothing quite like exploring the museums of Bangalore to get to know the City of Gardens better.

This is certainly one of the oldest museums in Bangalore and, in fact, in all of India. Set up in 1965, the Government Museum on Kasturba Road, Bangalore, is the perfect place to head to if you are interested in ancient coins, pottery, inscriptions, rock carvings, sculptures, and jewellery. This is a treasure trove of Deccan historical collections and showcases the Halmidi inscription of 450 CE, the earliest Kannada inscription known to us.

Gandhi Bhavan – 

Mahatma Gandhi’s ideology and his ideas live on in the very spirit of this country. The Gandhi Bhavan at Kumara Krupa Road epitomises these values by showcasing writings, letters, artifacts, and memorabilia of Mahatma Gandhi, his friends, and associates. If you are looking to join meetings and discuss Gandhian values and their expressions in our lives, this is the place to be. The Gandhi Bhavan picture gallery chronicles his life, freedom struggle, and the sacrifices of our freedom fighters.
