    It was an amazing experience, tickets are pretty reasonable Rs160. the museum is pretty vast, though they could certainly improve the indoor lighting and description on the displayed antiquity. Better to keep a water bottle with you and wear comfy shoes. There is a tuck shop outside the museum.

    If you’re a history lover, then its a must place to visit when one is in Lahore. Though during my visit few of the sections were restricted but overall enjoyed my visit. The museum building itself is soo beautifully built that you can’t take your eyes off. The historical collection is also commendable. Entry fee is 50 per person and timings are 9 to 5 during summer

    One of the stunning place to visit in Lahore. The Lahore museum is one of the large museum in the Pakistan. You will witnessed the old history of the Indus Civilization.Stone age, Ashoka Time Slit, Buddha , Muslim Rulers, Sikhs, British Empire and Pakistan Movement. It will have two floors. The ground floor is for the stone age to British empire and the second floor is reserved for the Pakistan Moment, stamps, coins etc. You need to read the written things with the articles and understand 😀.

    Amazing experience. A must go place for kids to learn about history, culture and religion of historic times. The building itself is a true representation of architects marvels of that era. On the way back please buy souvenirs to support the organisation. I bought fridge magnets and look amazing.

    I must say this the most well managed museum in Pakistan. Visited here after 2 and half decades. Had to drive and wait before finding the actual parking of museum. History of all eras of subcontinent is well displayed. Very informative and must visit place in Lahore.

    An amazing, beautiful and historical place with on one there to guide you. You enter the museum and you see a security guard at the gate, then as you keep exploring the museum you find one or two standing in each room. The museum closes at 4pm SHARP and the guards keep telling you to leave starting from 3:30pm which is really annoying. Normally in places like these around the world, they close the doors at closing time and let the visitors inside for atleast an hour. There aren't any guides available insides and they don't give you any brochures or maps to navigate the museum. Is really sad to see how this amazing place is being run by the government. The amazing treasure inside this place needs proper advertisement and professional control. A must visit place if you are in Lahore ..

    If you are into museums this is a must see! Recently visited Lahore for the first time, during our visit to Pakistan visited few historic landmarks this historic city has to offer. I felt rushed as we had to go see the Wahga border. I had a good four hours but a place like this deserves an entire day. If you are visiting Lahore you must go to Lahore Museum.

    It is a great place indeed with lots of valuable and historic items. Though I believe more things should be added and more sections could be added to develop more interest for the visitors. The building of the museum is itself a masterpiece of architecture. Parking area needs a lot of improvement as early as possible. Overall a great experience.

    Its really Good for the children who are trying to learn the history of Pakistan and Indian Sub-Contenant in books. Very well managed and preserved. With entry ticket as low as Rs. 50 and proper Parking facilities with very reasonable Parking ticket without any blackmailig. I this every person should visit this place regardless of religion/age/area. It has something for everyone. 👍👍👍

    The museum is a wonderful way to escape the heat with a robust selection of works from across Asia. Their Buddhist statue selection recovered from northwest Pakistan is also remarkably impressive. However, it does little to address the history of Lahore and the far reaching catalog doesn’t appeal to the tourist looking to learn more about Pakistan. The amount of historical explanations are few and far between. It’s average at best.

    Lahore Museum is a cultural gem in the heart of Lahore, Pakistan. It stands as a testament to the rich history and heritage of this region. The museum's architecture itself is awe-inspiring and it's a treat for history enthusiasts and art lovers. Inside, you'll find a diverse collection of artifacts, from ancient civilizations to more recent history. The galleries showcase beautifully preserved sculptures, paintings, coins, and textiles. The Gandhara art collection is particularly noteworthy, featuring exquisite Buddhist artifacts.

    Stunning collections in beautiful 19th century interiors. Pros: Great Hindu, Buddhist, Jain and Sikh collection. Really interesting, though relatively small part with Pakistani textiles and handicrafts with some cool explanations about particular regions. Pretty informative exhibition on the Indus Valley cultures. Most of all, the Museum presents unbiased facts, not promoting of any of the religions’ viewpoint. That really deserves a special highlight . Cons: The tickets price for foreign visitors is TWENTY TIMES HIGHER as for the local ones. It would be awesome if more ethnographic aspects of Pakistan’s people were added.

    Lahore Museum's majestic red-brick building blends the old tradition of Mughal architecture. It stands out among the structures built in Lahore during the British period (1849-1947). This building is home to the country's largest and oldest collection of historical, cultural and artistic objects.

    The Lahore Museum, also known as the Lahore Central Museum, is the largest and oldest museum in Pakistan. It was established in 1865 during the British colonial period. The museum's architecture reflects a blend of Mughal and British styles. Its diverse collection includes artifacts from various periods, such as prehistoric, Indus Valley Civilization, Gandhara, Islamic, and British colonial eras. The museum houses an impressive array of art, sculptures, manuscripts, and historical objects that offer insights into the rich cultural and historical heritage of the region.

    I love reading/ knowing about history. This is a fairly maintained museum but it lacks artifacts. I remember they used to have huge collection of historical objects. But whatever they have, is a beautiful wealthy collection. Staff is hopelessly not interested in improving visitor experience. They are just doing their job. This place lacks paper guides - or atleast we were not offered one. One of the things that I didn't like was few articles have had their codes written using permanent ink on them. I mean, come on people.. Don't destroy the history. This place is worthy of a visit. Highly recommended.

The museum is now also renowned for its extensive collection of Buddhist art from the ancient Indo-Greek and Gandhara kingdoms. It also has collections from the Mughal Empire, Sikh Empire and the British Empire in India. Lahore Museum was originally established in 1865-66 on the site of the current Tollinton Market - a hall built for the 1864 Punjab Exhibition.[3] The present building was constructed as a memorial of Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria held in 1887, and financed through a special public fund raised on the occasion. The foundation stone of the new museum was laid on 3 February 1890 by Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence and Queen Victoria’s grandson. On its completion in 1894, the entire museum collection was transferred to present building with its new name as Jubilee Museum. The museum’s collection was later shifted in 1894 to its present location on The Mall, in Lahore’s British-era core.[1] The present building was designed by the well-known Lahori architect, Sir Ganga Ram. Rudyard Kipling’s father, John Lockwood Kipling, was one of the museum’s first curators, and was succeeded by K. N. Sitaram. Over 250,000 visitors were registered in 2005.

  • 4/5 FlaminCold 2 years ago on Google
    Visited this place recently and it was an amazing experience, entry tickets are affordable and for students, it only costs Rs-/20 (you have to show student ID as proof), the museum is well maintained and every gallery is worth watching and observing. Pictures and videos are allowed in the museum to take. Lahore Museum has different galleries which are dedicated to Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, musical instruments, old currencies, historical personalities of Pakistan, art and paintings, Quran calligraphy, and even more (I can't remember now). There is only one problem in the museum and that is it's hot inside, only fans are operating but no proper air conditioning or airflow system. (You'll see two AC's in the coins gallery only). Visit this museum with friends or family or you can even go alone and find out about our history.

    Lahore Museum is a very good and attractive place to visit. We visited here on Sunday. It is a historical place. Which contains a lot of historical heritage۔ Here you can see the history of the entire subcontinent. Along with this you can also study ancient civilizations. Pakistani civilization is shown separately on a regional basis. The history of the personalities who played an important role in making Pakistan is also shown. Contemporary coins in ancient history are also depicted in detail. True, Lahore Museum is a very good place to visit. You must know here

    This old colonial era building used to be a market. However, today it's Lahore heritage museum. It's generally closed. It opens for special events such as NCA exhibitions, talks and Lahore Biennale. Its to your left on the Lower Mall Road right next to the Lahore Museum and across from Punjab University art department. Parking is at the back of the building. Rs. 30 rupees for parking. Check out it's great architecture and woodwork inside!

While the staff and guards are friendly.

    The most historical place I ever visited in my whole life. The museum is divided in different portions, each portion belongs to its own history such as Islamic Historical things, Buddhist, etc. The unique thing which I like most is the maintenance, beauty and cleanliness of the museum. It will be injustice if I did not mention the behaviour of museum's employees. They way they guide me very polite and well mannered. From my side it is strongly recommended for families. I want to add one point here for local visitors. 👌👌

    Lahore Museum is a famous and important place to be included in travel plan while visiting Lahore. A must visit for everyone from all thre walks of life. Museum is located at a prime location on the Mall Road. Environment inside is calm and peaceful. Museum is well managed by staff. All the articles placed on displays are also well maintained but some of the things need improvement. There are different galleries inside Museum dedicated to different types of displays or articles placed inside. Ticket cost 50 PKR for an adult and 20 for child. Students may avail ticket in 20 PKR upon showing student ID card. A good thing is that photography is allowed everywhere inside Museum except for commercial use. Toilets cleanliness need much improvement. That's why I'm deducting 1 star.

    Very interesting place! There was a lot of stuff to see, different cultures, different eras, the contribution from everywhere into Pakistan and specifically into Lahore. Very informative and very interesting museum. The place is well maintained though it's rather dimly lit. The one issue I had was that the different exhibits (arranged by culture) were not clearly chronological. It was hard to tell what came first, what came during each other, and what was the last thing before Lahore as we see it today. However, the building and it's exhibits are certainly nice. The gift shop outside was a bit more generic and it would have been nice to care to the audience a bit and sell things more relevant to history, or recreations of pieces inside.

    I happened to visit Lahore museum recently. I was a bit disappointed when i saw the car parking; it certainly needs to be improved. The visit to museum itself was good. I visited after some 17 years, and i felt it was still in the same shape as that time, with probably the same artifacts. Also i felt that museum should enhance its collection, and especially add some artifacts about our own culture; our own culture that is wanning fast in the wake of urbanization and globalization.Went to visit the museum after very long time to refresh memories but from step one it was disappointing. Car parking was very poor, ticket was Rs 20/- only for locals, which is too less. The museum was not maintained well, just couldn't find the theme being followed. It had artifacts from Burma, Buddha and Hindu history /culture,while own culture of Pakistan, which is very rich in history and traditions, was totally missing. Surprisingly very old pictures of some Prime Ministers/Presidents and head of states were displayed, yet to understand their purpose, order and reason. To me it had no historical/ educational value. The showcases were very very old, light was very less, maintenance was poor, staff was also as old as the museum itself,being government employees who retire at 60.

Tremendous peices of maniature. There you will find orignal minature within maniature carved with gold pieces. Which one can varify at National Museum of Lahore at Mall Road (Section named Pakistan Movement). Do visit, i highly recommend to history lovers and explorers. I

    The Fakir Khana is an old 'haveli' type mansion, and is now the private museum of the famous Fakir Family of Lahore. It is one of the largest private museums in South Asia. Considered a hidden treasure of art: paintings, sculptures, manuscripts, Chinese porcelain, Persian carpets and countless masterpieces of Art, it is situated in Bhaatti Gate area, an old section of the Walled City of Lahore, in Punjab province of Pakistan. The Museum gives the visitor interesting information on the culture and history of the Punjab. The exhibits of the museum include gifts from Queen Victoria and Maharajah Ranjit Singh to Fakir Syed Azizuddin and Fakir Syed Nooruddin who were ministers in his court. The Museum is currently managed by members of the Fakir Family. It is closed to the general public and visitations are by appointment only. People who are allowed to visit go between the hours of 10 am to 5 pm from Monday to Saturday, I believe. It is acceptable to make a small donation to the curator/incharge as there is no formal ticket.

    About 500m inside Bhatti Gate on the right-hand side, a small mansion houses the Faqir Khana Museum. It houses the treasures of the Faqir family, who have lived in Lahore since the 18th century. It is said to be the largest private collection in south Asia, with over 13,000 pieces of art. The museum is located within Lahore's Walled City, along the Hakimaan Bazaar, near the Bhati Gate.

This place is overcrowded with people who are their just for the sake of it and for people who want cheap hangout or entertainment, which is not criticiable considering where we economically stand. What would be better for educated people to visit this place for educational and research purposes, since this place is house to multiple civilisations which date back thousands of years.

    Good and nice place to visit for families. Staff's behavior is also very good. But very little co operation with guests. This issue should be resolved as it creates embarrassment for hosts

    I visited the Lahore Museum twice, and it has always amazed me. The important thing about this is, that you find an extensive information on every aspect. For example: A whole gallary is dedicated to Indus Civilization ( Mohenjo Daro, Harappa artifacts). Another gallery is home to Persian arts and crafts. The most important and versatile is it's armory collection. Which makes you wonder the art of warfare. A corridor is beautifully decorated with miniature paintings of Indian folk and religious tales. The Sikh regime's history has also been preserved with a quite great care. It has a wide collection of Buddhist art and history. Together with history, it is also home to the Art of Pakistan. With the ceiling Mural by Sadequain and Many other notable artists. Moreover, the coin collection here is absolutely fantastic, tracing back to 500 Bc in Indus valley. The section reserved for Pakistan is also a great subject to study with it's historic photographs, letters and newspaper collections. To conclude, it is a great place to visit, whether you're a Historian or an Artist. or simply a curious person. Moreover, the staff, cleanliness, ventilation is absolutely finely. One more interesting thing about this museum is it's building architecture designed by late Sir Ganga Ram. Moreover, it is on the prime Location of Mall Road Pro tip: After visiting the museum, don't forget to take a tea ☕ at Pak tea House just around the corner. It is the den of Pakistani Literature ( Faiz, Munto, Faraz)

    There were very less people which shows that there are very few who actually care about history but to be honest I would have loved if there were more historic items from Mughal empire. But apart from all the atmosphere was quite and clean. A must visit if you like to see history.

    The Lahore Museum (Punjabi: لہور میوزیم; Urdu: عجائب گھر لاہور; "Lahore Wonder House") is a museum located in Lahore, Pakistan. Founded in 1865 at a smaller location and opened in 1894 at its current location on The Mall in Lahore during the British colonial period, Lahore Museum is Pakistan's largest museum, as well as one of its most visited ones. The museum houses an extensive collection of Buddhist art from the ancient Indo-Greek and Gandhara kingdoms. It also has collections from the Mughal Empire, Sikh Empire and the British Empire in India. The Lahore Museum, along with the Zamzama Gun located directly in front of the building, is the setting of the opening scene in the novel Kim by Rudyard Kipling, whose father, John Lockwood Kipling, was one of the museum's earliest curators. History Lahore Museum was originally established in 1865–66 on the site of the current Tollinton Market – a hall built for the 1864 Punjab Exhibition. The present building was constructed as a memorial of Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria held in 1887, and financed through a special public fund raised on the occasion. The foundation stone of the new museum was laid on 3 February 1890 by Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence, Queen Victoria's grandson. On its completion in 1894, the entire museum collection was transferred to present building with its new name as Jubilee Museum. The museum's collection was later shifted in 1894 to its present location on The Mall, in Lahore's British-era core. The present building was designed by the well-known architect from Lahore, Sir Ganga Ram. Rudyard Kipling’s father, John Lockwood Kipling, was one of the museum's first curators, and was succeeded by K. N. Sitaram. In 1948, as part of the partition of Punjab, the artefacts of the museum were divided between the newly formed countries of Pakistan and India, with the museum retaining about 60% of its collection. The rest was given to India and eventually housed at the Government Museum and Art Gallery in Chandigarh, built specifically for this purpose. The museum's golden years are considered to be from 1970 to 1990, when scholar, archaeologist, and museologist Dr Saif-ur-Rehman Dar served as its director. He wrote several books about the museum, and his tenure was complemented by that of B.A. Qureshi, who was the chairman of the museum's board of governors back then. After that, the condition of the museum went deteriorated due to the lack of support for its restoration. Over 250,000 visitors were registered at the Lahore Museum in 2005. This dropped to 236,536 in 2016, 214,697 in 2017, but rose to 227,994 in 2018. It was the most popular museum of Pakistan among foreigners in 2016 (2,956 visits) and 2017 (2,941 visits). It dropped to second place (with 3,659 foreign visitors) in 2018, having been replaced by Taxila Museum. Scope The museum displays archaeological materials from Bronze Age (Indus Valley civilization) to the medieval era Hindu Shahi period. It has one of the largest collections of archaeology, history, arts, fine arts, applied arts, ethnology, and craft objects in Pakistan. It also has an extensive collection of Hellenistic and Mughal coins. There is also a photo gallery dedicated to the emergence of Pakistan as an independent state, the Pakistan Movement Gallery. Collections The museum has a number of Greco-Buddhist sculptures, Mughal and Pahari paintings on display. Over 58,000 artifacts are reported to be part of its collection, with only 14,000 being on display. The collection contains important relics from the Indus Valley civilization, Gandhara, and Graeco-Bactrian periods as well. The Fasting Buddha, dating from the Gandhara period, is one of the museums most prized and celebrated objects. The coin collection consists of 38,000 rare coins.

    Not bad but some serious effort needs to be made to provide better descriptions of the artifacts, and to organize them better. English Spelling also needs to be improved - several plaques has numerous errors on them. The grounds are beautiful, and so is the interior. But interior needs better lighting and heating as well.

    This place has a great history. From war to freedom revolution to currency to stamps to medals of honour. The place gets really in crowded on weekends. Several areas of the museum have AC. So it depends upon which areas are renovated and are kept well maintained. People do need to take care of the stuff as well. Like I found an empty bottle inside a field gun put on display. That was kinda sad. However the building gives you good old vibes and the history is pretty good. Lovely building; it will take you in the past. Only precaution is parking your car. Rest it's a good place to spend an hour or two.

    I don't expect you all to agree with my opinion. I have visited Loke Virsa Heritage Museum at Islamabad. And after that when I visited Lahore museum it was a total disappointment. Entry fee: 50 Pkr Parking outside the museum: 30pkr for car Staff: cooperative Environment: Extremely Hot, don't ever visit it in summer (we did and we regretted) Museum itself is nothing but a bunch of few eikons, spoiled rugs and a bit of jewelry. If you haven't visited any museum before, it may be a good starter but if you are a frequent traveller and visitor, I'll advise you to save ur precious money and time and stay away. For those who still want to pay a visit. Please try not to visit in summer, Keep plenty of water and other supplies with you as no local tuc shop. Don't expect much of it. Try to enjoy it's lawns and classical building which reflects traditional art.

    It has a historical touch with some real ancient artifacts. The unique aspect is that it is all personal, and belongs to one family. The family traces it's roots to the Muslim courter of first Sikh ruler of punjab. Hence the name Fakir Khan. Most of the artifacts belong to that period. The miniature paintings are a real treat when viewed under the guidance of the caretaker who relates the historical background of these miniature paintings.

    Lahore Museum’s majestic red-brick building stands on Shahrahe-Quaid-e-Azam, previously known as the Mall. Blended with the old tradition of Mughal Architecture, Lahore Museum stands out among the structures built in Lahore during the British period (1849-1947). This building is home to the country's largest and oldest collection of historical, cultural and artistic objects. Its collections of Gandhara sculpture, miniature paintings rare manuscripts and old coins are known throughout the world. Similarly, its treasure of modern paintings, arts and crafts and ethnology are a national heritage beyond comparison. These collections attract research scholars, students and tourists from all over the world and constitute a unique cross-section of the cultural history of the Subcontinent The history of areas outside the Subcontinent is also brought to life here-the Museum houses artefacts from many countries and regions such as Burma, Bhutan, Nepal, Tibet, Central Asia, the Middle East and Africa. Amazing experience, must visit this heritage place. Thanks 😊🙏🏻

  • 5/5 Rafay S. 3 years ago on Google
    Great museum with an extensive collection. Super clean, lots of employees in every wing, admission is cheap (Rs 50 for adults, cheaper for kids and students, although the prices for foreigners are comparatively high- around $6 USD/Rs 1000). The building itself has some interesting history, and it's Indo-Saracenic architectural style is quite beautiful. Collections are mainly centered around South Asian/regional history, and specifically Islamic South Asian history. Currently two exhibits (the prehistory of the region exhibit, and the Sikh exhibit) are closed, I'm assuming for renovation. The only complaint I would have is that the lighting in some exhibits or in certain display cases was lacking. Whether it was because of a dead lightbulb, or because of no light bulbs at all, a couple parts of the museum/display cases were excessively dim. Also the adjacent gift shop and book store feel more like overpriced Pakistani bazaar stores where they'll probably try and overcharge you if you're clearly a foreigner, instead of it feeling like a proper museum-affiliated store with high standards and fixed reasonable prices. So a warning to foreigners who want to get some "cultural" souvenirs: don't let them overcharge you, don't be afraid to haggle a bit, and don't be afraid to walk out with nothing. You can always find somewhere cheaper elsewhere in the city anyways. Other than that, it was a wonderful and pretty museum with an extensive collection and clean, well kept grounds and gardens.

    The Lahore Museum (Punjabi: لاہور میوزیم; Urdu: عجائب گھر لاہور‎; “Lahore Wonder House”), is a museum located in Lahore, Pakistan. Founded in 1865 at a smaller location and opened in 1894 at its current location on 'The Mall' in Lahore during the British colonial period, Lahore Museum is Pakistan’s most visited and famous museums and remains one of the major museums in South Asia. The museum, along with the Zamzama Gun located directly in front of the building, were made famous in the celebrated British novel Kim, written by Rudyard Kipling - whose father was one of the museum’s earliest curators. The museum is now also renowned for its extensive collection of Buddhist art from the ancient Indo-Greek and Gandhara kingdoms. It also has collections from the Mughal Empire, Sikh Empire and the British Empire in India. Lahore Museum was originally established in 1865-66 on the site of the current Tollinton Market - a hall built for the 1864 Punjab Exhibition. The present building was constructed as a memorial of Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria held in 1887, and financed through a special public fund raised on the occasion. The foundation stone of the new museum was laid on 3 February 1890 by Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence and Queen Victoria’s grandson. On its completion in 1894, the entire museum collection was transferred to present building with its new name as Jubilee Museum. The museum’s collection was later shifted in 1894 to its present location on The Mall, in Lahore’s British-era core.The present building was designed by the well-known Lahori architect, Sir Ganga Ram. Rudyard Kipling’s father, John Lockwood Kipling, was one of the museum’s first curators, and was succeeded by K. N. Sitaram. Over 250,000 visitors were registered in 2005.

    (Translated by Google) There is a "penanced Buddha statue" that you often see in textbooks. The expression of the body that was fasted and thin was really delicate and even the blood vessels were highlighted, so I think it was modeled after the person who was actually doing it at that time. It is natural, but there are also eyes in the depressed orbit, and the eyes look as if they are wandering in the void and reality. It's a good product, but when I go out with a sense of incongruity, I get a call from the female students who are returning home on the pickup platform, and when I get closer, I start the car while saying kyakya and call myself back and approach Also, I enjoyed playing tag with no love, and in a sense it was a punishment. (Original) 教科書でよく見る『苦行する釈迦像』がある。断食して痩せ細った身体の表現は実に精緻で血管すら浮き彫りにされている様など実際に当時行っていた人をモデルにしたのでは。なお当たり前だが、落ち窪んだ眼窩の中にちゃんと目もあり虚無と現実を彷徨っているかのような目をしている。優品だがそれなりに違和感を感じて外に出ては、ピックアップの荷台に乗って帰宅中の女学生共から声をかけられ、近づくとキャーキャー言いながら車を発進させてはまた自分を呼び返し、近づくと又キャーキャーの他愛もない鬼ごっこをして楽しみ、ある意味罰当たりなもんであった。

    It's one of the first water resort club of Pakistan. Entry is member only with limited guests once every month and weekends are usually the best time to visit. The club is well maintained and support staff is well trained and behaved. My favorite part is the beach where you can spend hours. Karting and ATVs are also fun. In Winters the main attraction is the unlimited play area for kid bon fire and badminton 🏸

    It's not a museum it's a time machine which will take you to anytime in recorded history of Pakistan. Huge learning resource. Don't expect to see all the museum in a single day. I have visited it countless times and each time some piece grasps me for so long that I have to drop my plan of viewing a complete gallery in a single visit. But it doesn't mean that you cannot walk all the galleries and take photos in a single visit. The list of galleries include prehistoric/ Harappan buddhist/gandhara jainmat/ hindumat/ east asian islamic/mughal era sikh era armory and British era miniature (don't forget to see works of Bangal school) Pakistani painters menu scripts swat gallery/ethnographic coins/currency and pakistan movement galleries. In addition to it, outside of the museum displays some arsenel of the past few hundred years The building has anglo-oriental architecture, later incorporated huge murals by the great Sadquain, many lost buildings offered their glorious embelishments to the museum to immortalize the story of past glory.

The museum has impressive collection of atifects from Indus as well as gandhara civilization. It's one of the best museum in Pakistan a must visit

    An amazing museum showcasing the history of Pakistan/Indus civilisation. Divided into 5 sections, which were Indus, Islamic, Jain/Hindu, Pakistan liberation, Pakistan in wars, and the traditional wearings of each state. There was a gallery of pictures ranging from 1700s to the most recent one, and also there is an interesting part of the museum which displays all the coins/notes during British India times until now, and also postcards/ stamps of Pakistan from 1947 upto 2020. Do visit here if you’re in Lahore, as it gives you a deep insight of what we have overcome to a new Pakistan.

    Detailed description of old South Asian culture, ironically in the Lahore museum there wasn't much information on the history of Lahore or Punjab for that matter.

  • 4/5 Dinara G. 10 months ago on Google
    I was excited to visit this place, but my excitement was brought down by the guy who tears the tickets and lets you in. He didn't want to let me in because as per him I needed a foreigners ticket which is 20 times more expensive (1000 rupees, regular adult ticket is 50 rupees). My husband is Pakistani, and was visiting with him and his family (5 adults and 1 child). My husband told the guy that I'm his wife, but he started to ask to present Pakistani ID which I didn't have, because I just arrived to Pakistan 1,5 weeks before coming to the museum. That time was Ramadan and Eid holidays. So didn't have time to go and apply for it. So we were forced to exchange regular ticket to a foreigner ticket. So I hated how my husband and I were treated, so rude. This was my 1st visit to Pakistan with high expectations of how people are friendly and welcoming. And again, I'm not just a tourist, I felt like I was a part of Pakistan. So set on that mood i didn't enjoy the museum at all. Also there was no AC, only fans. Higher you climb the stairs, hotter it got. I couldn't even watch coins section long (1 or 2 minutes max), because was too hot and felt like no air. Kids got tired too because of the heat. So, if there were Air Conditioning or some kind of other cooling solutions, people could enjoy the place, get some knowledge, and spend more time. There big displays of Buddah and Hindu statues, carpets, different pottery, old clothes, wood carving arts, silverware. Islamic calligraphy in Quran writing is in Manuscripts Gallery. Also there is a gallery of paintings of Syed Sadequain Naqvi. It's an interesting place. You should visit it. Regarding parking. There is small parking lot for 30 pr 50 rupees across the road from the main entrance (on gravel road)

    Lahore Museum stands tall as an architectural masterpiece, as well as a source of unlimited information about history and culture of Pakistan. It is one of the most frequently visited monument in the country and attracts tourists and locals alike. You will be impressed with the majestic design and architecture of this building. Cameras and phones are not allowed inside the Lahore Museum, so you need to deposit them at the entrance. Inside, you will find artifacts, maps, displays, photographs, memoirs of historical headlines and timelines and many more exhibits from different ages. You need a lot of time at hand when you visit this museum.

    Lahore Museum was originally established in 1865–66 on the site of the current Tollinton Market – a hall built for the 1864 Punjab Exhibition. The present building was constructed as a memorial of Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria held in 1887 and financed through a special public fund raised on the occasion.

Particularly Independence portion offering photographs, stamps and coins from Tehreek-e-Azadi is worth visiting. Arrangements of cleanliness and security are superb. Parking lot is available, sitting arrangements for elderly are also there in every hall and gallery.
