Driving along the Bengaluru-Mysuru highway, you will notice the intriguing structure resembling a car tyre, which marks the Payana Vintage Car Museum entrance. This museum, located on the outskirts of Mysuru, was inaugurated in April 2024 and is the brainchild of Dharmasthala Dharmadhikari D. Veerendra Heggade, a member of the Rajya Sabha. Spread over 23 acres, the museum showcases a carefully curated collection of automobiles over the last five decades. Notably, it is an extension of the renowned 'Manjusha' car museum in Dharmasthala. Enthusiasts of vintage automobiles are encouraged to visit this museum to marvel at the exceptional and valuable cars it houses.
