==Establishment==
In order to honour Bharat Ratna Sir M Visvesvaraya, the great visionary, celebrated engineer and statesman of our country, the All India Manufactures’ Organization, Mysore State Board, decided to set up a Science & Technology Museum at Bangalore and the foundation stone was laid by Shri B.D. Jatti, Chief Minister of erstwhile Mysore State on 15.09.1958. The Visvesvaraya Industrial Museum Society (VIMS) came to be registered as the nodal agency in order to pool in resources from various industrial houses. A modest building with a built up area of 4000 sq. mtrs., was constructed by the Society in the serene surrounding of the Cubbon Park, housing various industrial products and engines which was opened by the first Prime Minister of India, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru on 14.07.1962.
However, the Society, felt that the southern region lacked a full-fledged science museum; whereas the eastern region was already having a science museum in Calcutta under CSIR, which was quite popular. On the Society’s request, CSIR took over VITM. The Society was given the liberty to nominate a permanent representative to the Executive Committee of VITM. On 27 July 1965, VITM was opened in Bangalore with the first gallery on the theme ‘Electricity’.
In the year 1970, VITM launched the Mobile Science Exhibition (MSE) with 24 participatory exhibits mounted on a bus for taking science to the common man’s door step. The MSE Bus travels through the length and breadth of the whole of South India and it continues to be a very effective tool for science communication in the rural area as the bus carries with it a portable planetarium, telescope for night sky observations, HD large screen TV for science film shows in the evenings, materials for conducting popular science shows and demonstrations aimed towards the students and the general populace.
