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. It aims to educate medical students, raise public awareness about brain health, reduce stigma around neuropsychiatric illnesses, and promote organ donation.
If you want a unique experience, you should visit the Brain Museum for an eye-opening adventure that you won’t forget.

“I did my first solo trip in India with WanderOn. Initially I was sceptical about their Meghalaya-Kaziranga trip as I didn't have any prior experience with them but the team assured me that it's going to be one of the best experiences of my life.

“In Ladakh, find the perfect blend of culture, adventure, and serenity. December last year I decided that my next trip would be Ladakh but didn’t know how to go about it. I knew I wanted to travel in a group, as I had prior experiences of traveling in a group but wanted an organiser I could trust. Ladakh isn’t like other destinations wherein you need some instructions due to the high altitudes.

“After an amazing trip to Tirthan with WanderOn, I decided to go to Manali-Jispa with them and yet again, the experience was worth every penny. The place was very beautiful and the quality of service was top-notch, the itinerary was very good and the quality of transportation and stays were very good. Had an awesome time there and made some good friends as well. Lastly, our trip captains Priyasha and Rachit managed the entire trip very well and were so fun and made our trip an experience worth remembering.
