Excellent place for people who love to know history of the oldest civilizations of the world. Huge number of items of interest for all sort of visitors from inside and out of Pakistan. Good effort by the management to preserve history but a lot more can be done for improvement.Ticket is Rs.20 & 10 for adults and kids respectively, which can be increased to generate much needed funds to upgrade maintenance of the place.

Not in good condition.. Negligence, theft, apathy, ignorance, lack of awareness, negative awareness.. All play their role

A great historical museum right in the cemter of city, many people will be amazed to hear about it, as we travel right pass it and never looked at this beautiful history collection,Timings : 9 am to 5 pm with a lunch break from 1pm to 2pm (Monday to Tuesday, and Thursday to Sunday)Wednesday : Museum is closed

A range of history from the time of the indus civilization to the birth of pakistan. Exellent collection of qurans

Its an informative place. Great for educational tours and the staff is great too. Enjoyed my visit and learned a lot. You should definitely visit it at least once, especially if youre touring karachi.

Improvement needed , GilgitBaltistan is totally missing. Staff members were polite and supportive.

It has a rich collection of relics that date back to thousands of years. You will find ages old coins, sculptures, jewelry and other interesting stuff.

Good but whet i reach it was closed.

The National Museum of Pakistan was established in Ferer Hall on 17 April 1950, replacing the defunct Victoria Museum. Frere Hall itself was built in 1865 as a tribute to Sir Berley , a Commissioner of Sindh  during the 19th century. Once the Museum was inaugurated then the Government of Pakistan deemed it wise to constitute an Advisory Council in 1950 with a primary duty to counsel the Museum on the issues of enriching its collection through new acquisitions and purchase of antiquities and works of Arts. The Museum was shifted to the present premises (located in Burns Garden, Dr. Zia-ud-din Ahmed Road) in 1970.The basic objective of establishing the National Museum was to collect, preserve, study, and exhibit the records of the cultural history of Pakistan and to promote a learned insight into the personality of its people

Nice atmosphere and Greenery. Trees
