Insect Museum, TNAU

This is one of the very informative museum that we have visited. Museum is well maintained and it is worth visiting.

Closing time is bit early, so you need to plan your visit accordingly. They should have allowed photography inside.

I would recommend this place for children. They would love it...

One of its kind in the Country. Insect museum is in Coimbatore only developed by TN Agriculture University. Lot of useful information at one place available about insects which are about 90% of animal life on Planet. They charge nominal fee and photos and video not allowed inside. Recommend everyone to visit while in Coimbatore.

Lovely museum which showcases large variety of insects. The beauty is the way in which they are organized. You can see varieties like butterflies, moth, silk worms, borers, beetles, bugs, locusts etc. Many have a history like from the origin to the endlife.

Good place to visit. Learn about insects. Place is building up. I see that the opposite botanical park is also being renovated. Thanks to the management to take such initiative. The place is brand new so looks nice. Hope they keep updating the exhibits and maintain it well. Kids enjoyed a lot. They have a theatre which shows few science documentaries.
