A museum which houses rare artefacts related to the fields of science, art and the like. One such museum is Manjusha in Dharmasthala, which was open in 1989 under the guidance of Dr. D. Veerendra Heggade. The wide variety of exhibits in the museum appeal to people of all ages and sections.
The entire museum is broadly classified into two sections- Indian and Western. While the former section consists of traditional and pre-historic items, the latter comprises items of Western mode.
There is an amazing collection of metallic idols and statues of various Theerthankaras and wonderful ivory carvings too.
There is the collection of Western musical instruments like clarinet, saxophone, Spanish guitar etc. which helps us in understanding the evolution of musical instruments.
At Manjusha, old remote microphones, telephones with telegraphic system, intercom phone and such other modes of communication are also displayed.
With the able support of Dr. Heggade Manjusha has developed and is developing by the day. No doubt, a visit to such museums make us believe that present is clearly an extension of the past.
