From Cubbon Park metro station, exit and walk along Kasturba Road towards the museum.

A short taxi ride from the city center (e.g., MG Road) to the museum typically costs between ₹150-₹250, depending on traffic. Drop-off is usually right in front of the museum entrance on Kasturba Road.

• Walking

  If you are already in the Cubbon Park area or nearby locations like MG Road, walking to the museum is a viable option. From MG Road, head west towards Cubbon Park and then follow Kasturba Road to the museum. The walk is approximately 15-20 minutes. Be aware of pedestrian crossings and traffic signals along the way.

• Parking

  Limited parking is available near the museum on Kasturba Road. However, due to the museum's central location and the popularity of Cubbon Park, parking can be challenging, especially during peak hours and on weekends. Paid parking is available at Cubbon Park and Vidhana Soudha metro stations. Parking fees typically range from ₹30 for motorcycles and ₹50-₹60 for cars. Be prepared to walk a short distance from the parking area to the museum entrance.
