I was overwhelmed seeing this vintage cars. Well painted and a fabulous collection of vintage car antiques. Great to see cars as old from 1850's. Collection also has some toy cars which will be exciting for kids too. Never the less to mention seeing age old Java and yiezde bikes. The effort spend in maintaining such a collection, great work.

P.R.Thippeswamy, a renowned artist and folklorist from Mysore was instrumental in the development of this museum.
