# 02 Dec 2008, 11:44AM: Mysore:
Mysore's university has a museum of Karnatakan/Kannadiga craft, art, literature, and folklore in general. I had the pleasure today of getting a two-hour guided tour from its founding curator, a friend of my parents. It was a crying shame that I had the run of the place. It's in a century-old palace, built in a climate where heating bills would never be an issue.
I think every time I come back from now on, I'll revisit this museum, just as I make it a tradition to climb the thousand stone steps of Chamundeshwari Hill (a.k.a. Chamundi Beta).
On the plane back home in a few hours, with a full notebook.
