University Folklore Museum

About University Folklore Museum

Housed within the university campus on the outskirts of Mysore, the University Folklore Museum offers a thoughtful introduction to the traditional cultural practices and folk heritage of Karnataka. Visitors can expect collections relating to rural crafts, ritual objects, performance traditions and everyday material culture gathered from communities across the region. The museum serves an academic as well as a public function, making it rather quieter and more contemplative than the city's larger attractions. Those with a genuine interest in folk art, oral traditions and the living cultures of Karnataka will find it a rewarding stop. It is best visited in combination with other heritage sites around Mysore, and a modest amount of time is usually sufficient to explore the displays thoroughly.
