Payana Vintage Car Museum is one more addition to tourist attractions in Mysuru

The Payana Vintage Car museum, on the outskirts of Mysuru, was thrown open to the public earlier this week. The innovatively designed museum showcases a collection of automobiles curated over the last five decades.

The museum, situated on the Bengaluru-Mysuru highway, features a facade resembling the silhouette of a car tyre.

The museum was established by Dharmasthala Dharmadhikari D. Veerendra Heggade, who is a member of the Rajya Sabha. It has been described as an extension of the famed ‘Manjusha’ car museum in Dharmasthala.

Exhibits include the majestic chariots once owned by the Mysore maharaja and iconic jeeps of World War II fame.
