Good collection but need to have someone to explain as most of the things are personal to the king's family it needs a bit of explanation for others to understand, an audio tour will be a good addition to build interest
This place a gem!
It is quiet, well maintained palace and the museum offers a very homely feeling whilst making us travel through history about the palace. One has to get into the University premises to visit the museum. Once reached, it gives a feeling of an abandoned palace but later one realizes that everything is kept inside. It will take around an hour to see everything in the museum. Totally advised to visit the place and try to understand how and where the royals lived!

The Folklore Museum at Mysuru University is a captivating window into the rich tapestry of India's cultural diversity. This modest yet intriguing museum offers a unique opportunity to delve into the traditions, art, and folklore of the region. Located within the Mysuru University campus, the Folklore Museum is easily accessible to both students and tourists. Its convenient location makes it a worthwhile stop for those interested in exploring the cultural heritage of Karnataka. For students and enthusiasts of folklore and anthropology, this museum is a valuable resource. It offers an educational experience that helps visitors gain a deeper understanding of the customs, rituals, and art forms of Karnataka. The well-curated displays are accompanied by informative descriptions that enhance the learning experience.
This museum is located within the Mysore University campus and entry to the museum is free. They have great collection of leather puppets and yakshagana accessories. There are two other museums within the Jayamahal Palace - an archeology museum and a mansion artefacts museum. All these museums give a sneak peak into the palace interiors.
This a excellent piece of art museum that captures our history and literature. I captured all the details of our civilisation and has decent collections.
It is sad that I was the only one visiting the place despite it being free entry.
Note that you are not allowed to carry mobile in the museum.

Youngsters will find it very boring. But it's a nice place . Clean and well maintained . Then don't allow photography or vediography inside. There are three different sections within this building out of which one is folklore museum. No entry tickets needed it's free to visit just enter in and out time and few details. You will have to submit your mobile phones to the incharge as it's not allowed inside the museum.
One of the finest place in Mysore for Art lovers. Age-old handicrafts, antics and Royal artefacts are on display in a royal mansion. A beautiful mansion housing the Museum is place to visit and enjoyed. It is in the Mysore University campus some 4 km from the Mysore Railway Station.
