    The museum’s original 1970s building was expanded in 1995 with a new science lab wing, and in 2012 a digital interactive gallery was added. The planetarium shows a 12 minute documentary on the 1963 Brahmaputra flood, so you can finish that before heading to Kamakhya. The drive is only about fifteen minutes, so you’ll have plenty of time to explore the temple after lunch. If you’re staying near the city, The Greenwood Resort is a convenient base.
