Museum

The Microbiology museum displays the magnanimity of human pathogens to medical students and public. Museum has finely crafted models & illustrations. Specimens are displayed with description & labelled photo in a manner which makes learning easy and enjoyable.

Museum has a wide array of microbiology specimens & learning material. There is a display of 22 charts, 8 general bacteriology models, 18 immunology models, 5 systemic bacteriology models, 6 Mycology models, 12 parasitology models, 15 virology models & 3 specimens. The students can visually learn microbiology while forming pictographic memories. A total of 50 detailed museum catalogues serves as a guiding hand for the in depth understanding of the displayed models. Each topic is well explained with relevant description. Working models to explain the mechanisms of drug resistance and importance of gut microbiome are in display. Interactive learning tools which assist active learning among students are stationed in the museum. The charts are laid-out to briefly summarize broad topics in easy, understandable language to give a lasting impression for effective student learning.

Microbiology museum plays a major role in educating the public regarding the magnanimity of the microbial bugs causing diseases among the human clan. The museum is open to the undergraduate and postgraduate students of Microbiology. The models are utilized in public domain for mass education of children and adults alike during the culturally extravagant yearly jatre celebrations held in suttur. The role of micro-organisms in causing varied infectious diseases are explained using the available models in realtime.

Future plans to expand the museum on the digital front

  • QR coding of specimens: Which enables to view the description of the specimens as 3D video with mobile (Self-explanatory video with audio of the specimens)
  • Digital Charts with 3D images
  • LED screen for interactive learning

    The digitalised innovative approach will significantly augment the learning experience for students of microbiology . This interactive element will not only engage users but also provide an educational opportunity that transcends traditional museum experiences.
