Dr. SK Shankar, head of Neuropathology at NIMHANS, is the mastermind behind this unique project. His 30-year career in brain research and autopsies helped make the museum a reality.
Researchers at NIMHANS have made unexpected discoveries with their collection of brain samples, that even advanced MRI scans can’t pick up. These samples came from autopsies, where families gave permission for parts of the brain to be kept for study.
The Brain Museum welcomes visitors of all backgrounds, offering a hands-on approach to learning about neuroscience.
And the best part? The exhibits go beyond just the brain. The museum also showcases other vital organs, including:
Seeing real human brains preserved in jars isn’t a typical sight and may unsettle some visitors initially. However, this unusual display provides an unparalleled learning opportunity. The Brain Museum offers a one-of-a-kind experience that goes beyond traditional education.

If you want a unique experience, you should visit the Brain Museum for an eye-opening adventure that you won’t forget.
