Brilliant museum showing the history of Pakistan, a great atmosphere that allowed us all to enjoy our day there

Website showing wrong timings of opening and closing. Closing a bit early due to covid. Great in cultural values and hand crafted goods for shopping.

Lok Virsa is a masterpiece for history lovers. But it couldve been so much better had they expanded the scope of this place to include the broader history of our country. Right now it only showcases musicians, musical instruments, and customs of this region.

Representing the culture of all the ethnicities of Pakistan and also the surrounding countries. A well time spent if you are interested in history and culture. A must visit place.

It is always a mix of fun and a lot of information to visit this museum. It is a wonderful place with very interesting artifacts. A must visit place for students. However I would suggest to visit this museum with at least 3 hours time, else you will miss a lot of things.

A very beautifully made museum. It presents cultural heritage of pakistan through different eras of history i.e gandhara, harpa and mohinjodaro art. It shows folk love tales depiction i.e. heer ranjha, sohni mahiwal, sasi pannu. It has sections of village life, truck art, muslim construction style, sufiism and much more. It is worth watching for school trips, arts students and history lovers. There are big gardens outside and at times you can find painters, artists and local exhbitions going on. There are good cultural gifts, jewlrey and sovineer shops for tourists and local shopping lovers.

The place is great for family outing. You can see sculptures of the tribes in Pakistan displaying their clothes and heritage.

The place is beautiful and great for people have love for heritage and ancient items. But i went in a season of humidity right after when covid-19 lockdown was over so there was no AC within the museum had to cut short my visit.

Good place where you can enjoy the history and other heritage things

Lok Virsa Heritage Museum is the best place to see heritage. Every year they offer 1 week or 10 days LOK MELA. You can feel the cultures of every province at one page. Amazing

Few days back , there was various shades of culture. Culture of all provinces of Pakistan. It is good step

Had a very short visit as it was about to close in the day end. But nice place for Art and History seekers.

Folk Art Museum. The museum showcases Pakistans multicultural society by displaying history and living traditions of the various ethnic groups of Pakistan from all corners of the country.

Nice place. Very informative and almost covered everything related to local culture and heritage.Kids enjoyed it very much.Shops are also there to buy handicrafts and other local stuff.If you visit Islamabad do visit once with family.

Collection of fine arts, sketches there, is extremely beautiful more than words.

It was raining when we visited and there was little we could do in winter rain. Otherwise great visuals.

The cultural heritage the intercultural impacts among our forefathers are thr best depicted here. It was a wonderful time here. Children should be brought here so that they may know how the life was lived during early ages here in our subcontinent.Art galleries outside the Heritage Hall are also a big must for viewing and learning the art work.

This place is well kept & well maintained unlike other such govt places. A must visit place to have a feel of rich diversified culture of Pakistan all under one roof. Entrance ticket is too cheap too.

Love this place ️ enjoyed the festival of 2020 . Lovely food, Artists, have alot of fun.

Its a good place for family gatherings. Good ambiance and diverse culture. There are stalls as well that help you experience speciality (food items, goods, clothes, etc) of different cities without having to go to the cities themselves.

Lok Virsa’s mandate has been to PRESERVE, DOCUMENT and PROMOTE Cultural Heritage (both tangible and intangible). The earlier focus had been more on the first two aspects.

PAKISTAN NATIONAL MUSEUM OF ETHNOLOGY (HERITAGE MUSEUM) earlier known as Folk Art Museum was established in 1982 with a covered area of around twenty thousand (20,000) square feet. However, in 2004 after the up-gradation and renovation, the Museum was re-named as Pakistan National Museum of Ethnology popularly known as Heritage Museum. The fascinating thing about the Heritage Museum is that it presents history and living traditions of the people of Pakistan both from the main stream and the remotest regions of the country.The primary purpose of the museum is to educate and edify present and future generations of Pakistan and to create a treasure house for the nation more valuable than the vault of any bank in the world.

Its a very good place for those who have interest in culture. Pakistan has huge diversity in cultures. The cultures of different areas are shown here. Very interesting place.

Very nice and informative place every one should must have to visit this place

Beautiful place to visit for family , historical statues have been place , must visit with your family .

It has a very good layout, very thorough and presents aspects of Pakistani culture and culture of other countries very beautifully. The only problem I had was that the last time i visited, they had removed all food places. I can understand the need to maintain clean environment but there is always a need for availability of food after a day in the museum.It displays the cultural heritage of Pakistani people. The living style of the different areas of Pakistan is exhibited here in statues, pictures, pottery, music and textile work. Lok Virsa is the finest cultural museum in Pakistan. It showcases art works that help in preserving the living folk and traditional culture and crafts of Pakistan. the Lok Virsa Heritage Reference Library is well equipped with resource data on ethnography, anthropology, folk music, art, history and crafts. Books on culture, heritage, audio and video-cassettes of folk and classical vocal and instrumental music are available for sale at Lok Virsa’s sales centre.

Pakistan is the homeland of dozens of diversified groups of people who have lots of lifestyles, customs festivals, religious and speak dozens of different languages. The Lok Virsa museum brilliantly represents the culture and heritage of Pakistani people.
