Located in the heart of the city of Hyderabad is the prestigious B.M. Birla Science Centre and Archeological Museum. An exciting drive up the winding hill road of Naubat Pahad brings the visitor to the fantastic Science Museum complex that has several buildings spread across the steeply sloping hill. Enjoy the panoramic view of the twin cities from here.

The modern B.M. Birla Planetarium is the first of its kind in the country. A beautiful sky show presents the mysteries of the Universe and our own solar system in a very interesting manner. An absolute must see.

The Birla Science Centre is highly regarded as one of the most prestigious institutions in the country, both as an institute of higher education as well as a Centre for research and development. Science is presented to the audience in a very simple and understandable manner using a variety of fun methods to explain basic principles of science.

Children love this section since they get a hands-on understanding of the mysteries of science. Don?t miss the optical illusions in the science centre. The B.M. Birla Science Museum showcases India’s achievements in the various fields of science.

The Archaeology and fine arts gallery has a unique collection of archaeological exhibits both excavated and collected, including excavations from Vaddamanu which date from 100 BC to 200 AD. You will enjoy the exhibits showcased at the stone sculpture gallery, wood carving gallery and gallery of miniature paintings.

Visit the highly popular Dinosaurium - a unique natural history gallery with a good collection of smaller fossils, dinosaur eggs, marine shells, fossilized tree trunks etc. The major attraction here is the rare and magnificent fossil of a 160 million years old Dinosaur, Kotasaurus, found in Andhra Pradesh belonging to the Lower Jurassic age!
