    1. Harappans: the World’s first town planners - In this exhibit we can study that Harappas were the first to adopt systematic town planning. The exhibit consists of the various models collected during excavation.
    2. Indian musical instruments - This exhibit consists of some musical instruments of Indian origin. Two TVs are provided showing the slides of various Indian instruments. Music is very old to India.
    3. Science and Technology in India- a time line - The Indian Civilization has a long recorded history of scientific culture that goes back to more than 5000 years. This gallery portrays the rich contributions of ancient India in science and technology. Indians developed one of the earliest written scripts (the Indus Scripts), built urban towns, with residential complexes and wastewater systems, way back in 2500 BC.

        Hologram – Hologram is an image, captured not as an image of a 3D object focused on film, but as an interference pattern at the film. Typically, coherent light from a laser is reflected from an object and combined at the film with light from a reference beam. This recorded interference pattern actually contains much more information than a focused image and enables the viewer to view a true three dimensional image, which exhibits parallax. The image will change its appearance if you look at it from a different angle, just as if you were looking at a real 3D object.  
         3D viewing with Polaroid - Two separate projectors project two images of an object seen through left and right eye. The viewer views through a pair of analysing filters (linear polarizers mounted in reverse orientation). Our brain fuses these two images into perception of a three dimensional scene or composition.

            1. Introduction of Indian contributions in Science - An attempt is made with this part of the exhibit to show case the ancient Indian independent contributions in science. Specially focusing on some important fields of science, mathematics, medicines etc.
            2. Word numeral - The nine numbers ranging from 0 to 9 were related to physical realities. In this exhibit you can study how the different numbers were used to express each number.
          2. gear
            1. Gravity - It was regarded that gravity not as a force but as a cause of the act of falling in 5th century BC.
            2. Elasticity - Elasticity was conceived as the property that responsible for a bow or a branch of tree, which can undergo contraction or expansion.  
            3. Viscosity - It was conceived as the cause of cohesion and smoothness.

              1. Area of circle - This exhibit tells how Aryabata gives the area of circle formula which is known even today.
              2. Mathematical series: This exhibit shows us about the trigonometric operations.

                            Stereoscope - Traditional stereoscopic photography consists of creating a 3-D illusion from a pair of 2-D images. The easiest way to create depth perception in the brain is to provide the eyes of the viewer with two different images, representing two perspectives of the same object, with a minor deviation similar to the perspectives that both eyes naturally receive in binocular vision.
                            Kaleidoscope - This is a kaleidoscope with three plain mirrors arranged along the three sides of an equilateral triangle. The mirrors being at equal angles with each other from multiple symmetrical images of the flowing coloured liquid kept inside

                              aboutThe State of Karnataka is a land blessed with many fascinating age-old monuments, world heritage sites, lush green forests, amazing wild life, spectacular waterfalls, timeless temples, fully vibrant with art and culture. Karnataka has carved out a special place in the field of science specially IT and BT and is called the science capital of India. It has taken a major initiative of developing a large number of science centres in the state for creating scientific temper and for enhancing the understanding of science and spreading a culture of science in the state and for benefiting the children. The first Science Centre in this series is the Dharwad Regional Science Centre. This Centre will be handed over to the Govt. of Karnataka for its operation and maintenance on its inauguration by the National Council of Science Museums, an autonomous body under Ministry of Culture, Govt. of India.
                              Dharwad Regional Science Centre is situated in the pristine Karnataka University Campus in Dharwad surrounded by a natural ambience with an aura of academic ambience. This Centre will be an ideal place to engage the young and old alike in creative activities of the science centre and for spreading scientific temper among its visitors. It will provide a fun filled experience in understanding of science to the visitors. 

                              The Dharwad Regional Science Centre was set up by the National Council of Science Museums, an autonomous body under Ministry of Culture, Govt. of India with active support from Dept. of S & T, Govt. of Karnataka. The Centre through its permanent science exhibitions, Science Park and various yearlong educational programmes is expected to cater to the wide spectrum of audience especially in Northern Karnataka. Govt. of India and Govt. of Karnataka have jointly shared the capital expenditure of Rs.850 lakh incurred in establishing this Centre. Govt. of Karnataka has also been instrumental in providing the land within the premises of Karnataka University, Dharwad free of cost for establishing this project.

                              Dharwad Regional Science Centre has been established in a built up area of 4000 sq meters. The centre houses a reception area, 3 exhibition galleries namely.
