Apart from museum there is Horror World for entertainment but its not that scary and not worth for the ticket fee. The ticket charge for entering the museum is Rs.60 and if you wish to see horror world its another Rs.60. There is gender separate washroom but its not clean. They could improve on that aspect too. Apart from that it is good place for a one time visit. 🧾 Cash only payment 🅿️✅ Parking area available ♿✅ No wheelchair accessible entrance 🚻✅ Gender separate washroom available

It was Beautiful✨ You have got to take your kids here! This place is an inspiration to all, kids and adults! All the instruments are so well maintained. The concept of the museum is so sweet! Loved every minute of it. It's a must visit when you go to mysore!

Melody World Wax Museum, located in Mysore, is a unique and fascinating attraction that stands apart from conventional wax museums. Unlike the traditional focus on celebrities and historical figures, this museum is dedicated to the theme of music, making it a delightful visit for music lovers and culture enthusiasts. Spanning three floors, the museum houses an eclectic collection of life-size wax figures representing various forms of music from across the globe. Each floor is themed differently, showcasing a wide range of musical cultures and histories. From tribal to Indian classical, from contemporary pop to traditional folk, the museum provides a comprehensive overview of the world's musical diversity. One of the most striking aspects of Melody World Wax Museum is the attention to detail in the wax figures and the settings they are placed in. The figures are dressed in appropriate attire, complete with musical instruments, creating a realistic portrayal of each genre. The ambiance is further enhanced by background music corresponding to each section, immersing visitors in a complete sensory experience. However, while the museum is innovative in its concept and execution, it faces some limitations. The lighting in some areas is not optimal, which can detract from the experience of viewing the wax figures. Additionally, the information provided alongside the displays, while informative, could be more detailed to enrich the educational aspect of the museum. In terms of accessibility, the museum is located a bit away from the main city center, but it is easily reachable by local transport. The entrance fee is reasonable, making it an affordable attraction for families and tourists. In conclusion, Melody World Wax Museum offers a unique and enjoyable experience, especially for those with an interest in music and culture. While there are areas for improvement, the museum's novel theme and engaging displays make it a worthwhile visit in Mysore.

India's Largest collection of musical instruments (Over 1500 musical instruments) + over 100 life-size wax statues. Fun place along with a Horror House, VR Virtual Reality & plenty of games. Museum established in October 2010 is World Recognized. A unique experience for family and groups. Ticket rates are Rs.60 per head and open on all days from 9.30am ~ 7,30pm

Melody World Wax Museum has an exquisite display of musical instruments ranging from 1980s to the present. The spectrum of instruments includes those used in Carnatic music, Jazz, African, Saudi Arabia, Punjab etc. The wax statues of the people playing the instruments is so real, with poses in rhythm of the music. Worth spending time and seeing each instrument in detail.

Never ever plan to visit this place, its a waste of both time and money. Looks like someone is paying huge money to promote it as a tourist place and earn money from tourists. 60 rs entry ticket for museum and 60 rs for horror world... I would not visit this place even if someone provided free entry. Its just some wax statues holding various musical instruments and not at all maintained, it was dust everywhere like the statues have not been cleaned for ages.

This museum shows various musical instruments across the globe. One can observe their dressing style, gestures, learn about their history via information boards. It was setup in a cool environment but some rooms are little bit creepy to see.

'Over 1200 musical instruments from all over the World along with over 100 life-size wax statues are exhibited in a 100 year old heritage house of Mysuru. This unique museum also displays some priceless antique musical instruments of India. Established in October 2010, it is a fun place for family and groups. It displays and speak of the rich culture and heritage of India and the World. Ticket rates are Rs.50 per head and open on all days from 9.30am ~ 7,30pm'

Nice ambience and well maintained museum and very attractive place for musical instrument users.

Poorly maintained museum. No proper tidiness inside. Staff are simply sitting, eating, chit-chatting. They do not have any interest in visitors nor try and maintain proper museum decorum. In each show item you will find display card begging for money as they do not have aid from outside. Nevertheless this is one of the sadest museum I visited. Sorry, but those items deserve much higher value and appreciation rather than eating junk here.

The museum has over 1200 instruments from around the world and claims to have the largest collection in India. There’s a horror show that is not worth the visit, and a ‘vortex’ which was actually cool. As a foreigner the 200 rupee fee was reasonable to see everything, much more and i would have been disappointed. If I returned it would just be the music part for only 60 rupees. Now, if melody world sees this review I have a few comments… and please know these are suggestions from a musican who enjoyed the museum, not complaints. First take better care of those precious instruments! Some are obviously in disrepair, and everything is dusty. What you have is special and hopefully will be preserved for future generations but not in the state I saw them in today. Maybe visitation is low because of Covid, but I urge you to take better care. Also there are some items mislabeled either with the wrong name or wrong place of origin (like Cuban bongos are with the middle eastern area but should be with the Latin America area), and many items are not labeled. To further your mission of inspiring kids to learn music please update signage so they know the right name and origin of the instrument. What about having some recorded music along with the presentations so people can hear what these instruments sound like? Your Indian visitors may not be familiar with the styles of music from other countries, and your foreign visitors may not be familiar with the different Indian styles. Maybe a hands on section so people can make some noise and really be inspired? I would love to try the pump organs you have. Lastly your categorization could use an update. It would be fascinating for instance to see a timeline of drums, or stringed instruments rather than have them all scattered about. Maybe close the horror show altogether and focus on the music cause you have a wonderful collection and the horror show was a complete waste of space. 🙏🏽

Behind every action, there is an intention and I felt very pure energies and intention behind all the beautiful hard work, from the making to the collection of all the unique instruments! Very educational museum, built with amazing souls who are helpful and compassionate. I would like to thank the owner for his unique contribution to the universe and humanity for the education provided and monuments. May God continue to bless.

The wax museum had an impressive collection of musical instruments on display. From ancient percussion instruments to modern electronic keyboards, the museum had something for every music enthusiast. Each exhibit was carefully curated with information about the history and significance of the instrument. It was evident that the museum had put a lot of effort into acquiring and showcasing these artifacts while the wax museum's collection of musical instruments was impressive, the poor maintenance detracted from the overall experience. Visitors could benefit from the museum's investment in regular upkeep and restoration to ensure that the exhibits are in top condition.

Good collection of hundreds of musical instruments and wax statues depicting various countries and regions musicians and people. For anyone interested in music, culture and history, this will be a good place to visit during your trip to Mysore.

Very good collection of musical instruments, however, this place is not maintained well, a weird smell is everywhere, mannequins have very dirty clothes and all are now very cramped, looking like they disposed of them all in a very small place. The Horror house was bit fine, a long way inside the horror house so feel it. All together you can visit this place if you have time.

Wax melodies museum consists of 4 entertaining places like 1.wac melodies museum, 2.horror house, 3.vortex tunnel, 4.mirror maze along with few video games and other fun games. Wax melodies museum was a good Place to see the historical instruments and band. They got a huge collection of historical items. It also contains horror world which was really amazing to enjoy those who visit with kids. It also had a package of mirror maze and vortex tunnel it was a full package of enjoyment with a combo ticket price of Rs. 300 each. I had a good time over here and enjoyed the visit. Everything is made of wax and well maintained . There was a good collection of hundreds of musical instruments and wax statues neatly connecting to various countries and regions musicians and people. I strongly recommend this place for anyone interested in music, culture and history, this will be a good place to visit during your trip to Mysore or at the time of Mysore Dasara.

Horror show is good n interesting

A quaint little place in the heart of the city. This non government funded museum has rhe largest collection of musical instruments in the country. At 60rs a head it's a bargain. Definitely worth a visit atleast once. Needs a bit of uplifting but still not bad the way it is.

If you are a music lover, this is a good place. This museum has a huge collection of musical instruments. I saw many musical instruments here, which I have not seen anywhere else or even heard of. There are many life size wax statues. But, the museum is not maintained well. Even lighting needs to be improved. There is a shop too where you can buy small wax candles and showpieces. Worth to visit one time.

A place with abundant musical instruments and wax statues of musicians holding instruments. Looks like they need support to enhance the way it is displayed. Heaps of instruments seem to have dumped in different rooms without any details mentioned anywhere. Worth a visit anyhow!

See this Wax museum is not exactly proper wax museum this you can say original musical instrument museum because here you see more then 1200 musical instruments . Different type of countries and there musical instruments and they are original. Great to see. You can come here and enjoy to see lots of instruments. This museum is walking distance from see Shel museum and from sand museum. Here you can enjoy horror museum also like Scarry house. Ticket for wax museum is 50 rupees and 40 rupees for horror museum.

Good place to visit.

Great collection of various musical instruments , cultures & traditions of various parts of world ,

This is an amazing place if you want to know the different musical instruments used across the world. The place displays more than 1000 instruments and everything made from wax. The place is not funded by the government so they need contributions to help maintain the place. A must visit place if you are an enthusiast for musical instruments or history of them.

If you are a music lover, this place is like a magical wonderland. They have perhaps the greatest collection of musical instruments in India. The novel thing is the way it is all displayed, on themed sets of of full size wax models in appropriate clothes and getup. Additionally, there is a horror house of wax models and a play area for children. A good place to visit while in Mysuru.

Nice place with collection of numerous old musical instruments with wax statues. It had good collection of various kinds was statues displaying various styles of music band. Few might feel bored to keep seeing the statues but let’s give respite to to their art and collections of instruments. Premises 4/5: Was museum is renovated house which as an horror world along with it. It also has many games for kids and adults where we can spend time and it is paid. Parking 4/5: Wax museum has dedicated parking area where we can park enough 2 wheeler and 4wheeler vehicles. Locality 5/5: It is located near Chamundi hills circle and easy accessible. Price 4/5: Adults (₹50) and camera/phone (₹10) Overall, good experience and can watch for once. Children can play games nicely.

Awesome collection of instrument. One must visit. Music soul or intrument lovers will have feast here. Independently they have done so much. Hats off for their effort. One must really appreciate.

It is a good museum which has lots of collection of instruments from within India and from abroad also. But the museum is too dusty and not maintained. I wish they can maintain the place and preserve the collections in better way

If you are a music enthusiast as want to know the history and background of how the modern musical instruments evolved , this is the place. You can get a knowledge of tribal musical instruments as well as instruments from all over the world.

Have a wide variety of musical instruments across world, Good for kids above 5 years of age as there are few games which only they can play. Suggested for one time visit only.

A very fantastic collection of antique materials .Love the wax statues .An unexpected nice experience I got .

Ample collection of musical instruments from different places and different time period . Neetly managed can visit definitely

Entry ticket is 60INR. Rarest of rare musical instruments made in wax is something new.

A must visit place for all music lovers..Huge collection of almost all music instruments available around the world...Strongly recommended..

Good and very informative museum. Loads and loads of musical instruments are kept here.A must place to visit for music lovers so many instruments are kept here. Play area is also available for kids and enough parking space available

Fun activity Full musical museums : a good variety and large range of musical instruments display Horror world: Nice and sweet Mirror maze: simple and confusing Buy ticket from counter only.

Largest Museum for Musical instrument in a Mysore. Could have been better in its collection and maintenance. But it’s a one time visit.

Nice place for waxed pictures and it looked like the real humans. We can see all the disregarded kinds of cultures and traditions. Nice place to have knowledge view at the instruments that we have used previously. Antique items also can be seen here

One of the most important things to visit in Mysore. Not Many people are aware of it. It has most unique collection of musical. Instruments. A must to visit and see for yourself. All instruments here are real. Please take your children's so that they can see these instruments for real. Some instruments are made from snake skin and turtle body. Olden instruments made from bone are also kept forgetting display. You can see a whole series of telephones, radio, recorders which are obsolete.

It was awesome experience to see museum.. A big salute to person who is reason for this.. I respect their dedication🙏🙂

Good collection of musical instruments

Large collection of vintage musical instruments. Keep up the good work.

entertainment spot

Sure

It was awesome

Excellent place to visit when you go to Mysore. Entry fee is Rs50 per head. Worth for money as this museum contains more than 1200 musical instruments across world including tribal people used instruments. Wax sculpture of human is found here and most interesting part is that the museum and collections are by one person

Nice place to visit with family and friends. Best visiting place for children..

Nice place to spend time with family... Very good for kids, they can have fun... Statues are very realistic... There is a horror world also beside it and a national historical museum nearby... Half day can be spent easily with family or friends!! No card or phone pay is accepted for tickets, so carry cash!! 😎

It's a nice piece of art. If you love music or curious to know about history of music instruments or evolution of music in different parts of the world, it's the right place to visit. Anyways, you can visit the place even you are a non music lover:) I could imagine how much hard work would have gone into creating these.

Nice measuem for children with out expectations it is good

The place has a record collection of musical instruments. I was amazed by the collection. It can take hours if someone ever wanted to even look at each instrument, let alone observe it. As an added element they also have for kids and adults. But we avoided them.

this Museum is in very old building entry fee is rupees 50 timing of Museum is 9:30 /7 Inside there is 1200 musical instruments and 100 wax model that holding that instruments 15 minutes is enough to see. Very different concept but if you r taking fees than must be present them very nice way and try to make audio sounds of that musical instruments. Light is not proper. Collection is good but presentations is bad Not worth paying

They have a huge collection of musical.instruments and wax statues. But the guides were in a rush to tak you to the next display.

Excellent museum. All need to visit in mysore

Well organised antiques of international musical instruments. We'll informed staff

In world wax museum there's another place horror world it's very fun

One of the biggest museum for musical instruments. You get to see all kinds of instruments from old to new under one roof. A must visit if you are a music lover when you visit Mysuru.

Waste of time and money

A haven for music lovers. I unfortunately am not a fan of musical instruments. So, it was a little annoying.

So so privately owned but having largest music equipments...

A must for kids as they don't even know musical instruments more than 5 or 6 common items. Here they can see more than 1200 such instruments.

Nice place

This place has lots of vintage musical instruments, which we have never seen anywhere in the world. Music lovers and instrument lovers will definitely love this place. It will take 25 mins to cover all the instruments to see.. Entry Fee is 50₹ per head. If u love instruments then it is a good place to see it, otherwise you can just see the pics in Google and go to some other places. checkout the pics which I have uploaded..

Waste Of Time. Not Even 1% Of Enjoyment For Any Age People. Ticket 10rs Also More For It.

Classic and worth for money

(Translated by Google) New experience (Original) ಹೊಸ ಅನುಭವ

Good collection but having separate charges for ghost house and this is a bit of a burden. Overall nice to see so many rare instruments.

Not worth visiting. No other words to say

Required some description & information regarding all statues related to origin and forms.

Rich collection of exhibits from all over India and across the world. Expect the place to be maintained in a better manner.

Such an amazing place to visit, well organized and maintained. A must visit place!

Amazing place .. well maintained and intresting stuff to watch

Not a great place for kids

Wax museum

Super

This is actually good place to visit. Its recommended actually and Horror mesuem is must.

This museum majorly displays musical instruments from ancient times. There are wax statues on display with these musical instruments. We'll maintained and the "rooms" also have antique looks. Apart from the museum, they have a section with horror theme - "Horror world" that can give you a good scare.

Good collection of instruments

Exciting

Old collection of musical instrument are nice. Old telephonic communication are shown

It's really amazing ☺️

this a tremendously excellent place, you will enjoy each second of life once inside and sometimes you just go to the dream world and will imagine that you are in their real world I was inside the place before the impose of lockdown on my first visit to Karnataka and Mysore

Best games center

Not bad, good collection of items on display. Family will love it

This museum showing our Indian economy as beggars.😑 How can they show this to travelers..?😡 As a indian citizen the owner of this museum is freeloader.. 😠 Maybe the ower is rice bag converted..👍 Shame on you..😡😡 If there is possible I m going to take legal action on this.. If anyone is going to visit this place please write on there comment book about this.. Nothing interesting in this place.. All statues are are looking like plastic made.. Waste of amount.

Ok

Wast of money don't go

Great 👍

Do not expect a lot.

Awesome 👍

Don't waste ur time and money in this place. Outside they have lot of kids cartoon characters displayed, but you should not get deceived by that. Inside you won't find any of those except poorly managed musical instruments display.

Melody Wax Museum is a nice place to visit when you are in Mysore. Ideal for those who like our art, culture and music. Better indexing could have made the visitor more informative about the collection. This place require publicity

A variety of musical instruments are collected and kept for display.if someone has interest in musical instruments then it is must watch... There are wax statues of different people from tribes to american people and also different items.made through shells , knjon peels etc

Melody World Wax Museum is a truly fascinating tourist spot in Mysore. This place has been aptly named as the Melody World as several musical instruments are displayed here. Adding to the attractiveness of this place are the wax statues of musicians playing instruments. There are around 100 life-size wax models and over 300 musical instruments displayed here.

They have only old musical instruments collections, which was nice. Not a exciting wax museum. I believe they have connections with local guides and travels. Not a government property.

Good experience with musical knowledge, but neet some upgrading. As it was very short tour area

Better

Nice but not to my exception.

Good collection of musical instruments.

It was not upto the expectation

Good place

Place is ok but ticket is more as per location so giving 3 star for kids only it's ok

All world musical 🎼 instruments at one place

Nice place semma intresting place musical lover useful place

It has largest collection of musical instrument in India. Don't miss to visit

It is a good place if you are having intrest on ancient musical instruments otherwise you will be bored

Good museum but only have music related statues so ultimately you start getting bored. Good for one time.

It s better only

There is a good collection of musical instruments, starting from stone age and also those used in various countries and wax statues. Needs maintenance, but heard it was well maintained before corona and they would maintain it hereafter as there are more people visting. There are some games as well for the children, which is of course paid but good place for hanging out during evening. There is a horror world, which is not scary compared to that at other places.

If nothing goes by the paln then you can visit this place to spend an hr of quality time. Good thing about this place is.. you can come with any age group. You can visit the wax meusium if you are interested, or you can play games like archery, golf etc. There is a scary room also. Overall good experience

It was worth the time and effort. It was a great place with detailed information about the various cultures.

Amazing collection of musical instruments... Loved it.

Its ok to visit 1tym but not mandatory..but 1tym u can visit fr seeing statues and for small children games

One of the finest wax museum in the country with rare musical instruments

Good wax museum in Mysore. Good experience.

It's a good place but not taken care of. Maintenance is required.

If you are a music folklore, it's the right place to pitch in. Though the place looks like an antique home, it hosts world wide musical instruments and its usage from the beginning of the era. Continental wise, the music and its legacy has been showcased. As of Feb 2022, the entry fee is INR 60.

Although they highlighted it as Wax- museum, but here collection of musical instruments is very nice. You can see tribal, traditional to modern musical instruments here in good condition.

Unique place to visit. Must visit with kids and ensure them to know the musical instruments which is used in past, Wax made statue are very nice Easily accessible to Travel and visible from the road. limited car parking facility

Again, it's NOT a museum. Similar to any exhibition camp you might have come across. There are many wax figurines and stuff. It has record of having a collection of wax counterpart of all musical instruments of the world. Just that they aren't displayed properly neither with their names nor any information. They have just been stored like in a storehouse. There are also many mini games available to play after paying for each.

It was a little lonely and not giving the vibe of a museum, though the musical instrument made from different materials and from different areas of the world is worth seeing.

Good Place to see the historical instruments and band. They got a huge collection of historical items. we had a good time over here and enjoyed the visit. Everything is made of wax and maintained .

It was awesome place where there are a large number of collection of music instruments used in various eras of different culture and different places..but only wax statue of two eminent personalities are there Mysore maharaja and Gandhi ji..resk ok.. one time visit..seems as if they are real

Place is really amazing, you get to see 1800 different kinds of musical instruments. Right from the Stone Age to modern age instruments are showcased here. Really a great place to visit. Less crowded, well maintained and staff are very polite. Our entire tour was guided by Mrs. Revathi, she explained us the nook and corner of the museum. Ticket per person is 60/- Parking is available

It says wax museum but there are very few exhibits made of wax. I'll say it's a Musical instruments Museum. There are a wide variety of musical instruments and exhibits many traditions all over the world. There is a Horror world, mirror maze, VR gaming. In combos you cannot exclude wax museum, unless you take individual passes at each cost 60rs
