The paper consists of some exact solutions for a homogeneous Bianchi type VI₀ universe. The material distribution is taken to be a magnetized bulk viscous fluid in presence of massive cosmological string. We assume that current is flowing along x-direction. Therefore, the magnetic field is in yz-plane.

The physical and kinematical parameters of the models thus formed are discussed.
