Best Season:October to February is the best period to visit Mysore, as the weather is cool and pleasant, making it ideal for sightseeing. The museum itself is an indoor attraction, so it can be visited anytime of the year. However, visiting during the cooler months allows you to comfortably combine the trip with other outdoor attractions. Avoid the peak summer months of April and May when temperatures are high. The monsoon season from July to September is also a good time, though outdoor plans might be affected by rain.
