An Introduction
The Vishweshwariah Industrial and Technological Museum in Bangalore is a fascinating place to spend a day. Dedicated to Science and Technology, the Vishweshwariah Museum’s appeal cuts across all ages. What is interesting is that the Museum covers the history behind all major technological inventions from the teeny weeny Zipper to Jet Engines with simple and lucid explanations. In fact, most exhibits have a live demonstration to explain the concept. I found the Star Show where you need to crawl into the dome, most exciting! Considering the interactive nature of this museum, I would say it’s more of a science center that is doing a great job of creating awareness and building a scientific temper in the country.

Kids would love the Cartoon City, Water rides and certainly the Wannado City which is a role play based theme park. In summary, if you have a day to kill and are in and around Bangaore, Innovative Film City is not a bad idea to make a visit with family and friends.
