One of the best museums Ive ever visited that too in Pakistan, Lahore. Very well maintained and the quality inside the museum is magnificent. The VR train is breathtaking showing you history of Pakistan and India in a 4D view and the photos with Jinnah is also something to look forward to. I really loved the atmosphere and vibe it had, They have really paid attention to detail. For the quality of the museum and the atmosphere I really think they charge very less for something this great. A MUST VISIT

An excellent addition to the archives of Pakistan and wonderful contribution by the Govt. Of Punjab and Citizen Archives of Pakistan. This museum is so beautiful crafted with fusion of technology and design language that one doesnt feel bored. Historic events are exhibited in beautifully crafted timelines that one thoroughly enjoys. Display of moments of partition with narratives recorded from generation of partition and use of hologram and virtual reality makes the experience heart touching. Its maintenance will be most critical and collective responsibility of all of us. Please visit, once it officially opens up for public and treat every thing like a master piece of your own drawing room.

Brilliantly done! Loads of information through interactive displays and visuals. Amazing VR simulation about the migration of 1947 and superb idea of stepping into the past where anyone can get clicked with Quaid and his companions. Just a suggestion. They should keep few clothes as well for pictures, as todays costumes do not match the old ones. Like a coat, a dupatta, sherwani. Otherwise its an amazing experience and in the end a lovely story telling session with an art activity was a cherry on top. Souvenir shop is great as well. Staff was polite and friendly. We had an amazing time with kids.

The best museum to vsiit for every Pakistani. It gonna take the whole day to see the history in it. Tour of history from 47 to till date of every field in Pakistan like air force army music and film industry etc and also history before Pakistan and also of the famous leader and history of partition. A great place to visit and to take young kids so they know about history and culture of PAKISTAN.

Its a nice place to visit and you can enjoy the voice of history by using hanging headphones in the museum. They categorized tickets in 3 ways,1. Rs. 50 includes just visiting and listen audio and video clips, you can make photos of yourself with all historical areas defined but you are not allowed to take photo of only areas, you should be there in the photo ;)2. Rs. 100 extra should be pay for making photo with historical group members that includes you in black n white mode. (optional)3. Rs. 200 extra should be pay for watching VR videos sitting in the train single box placed in the museum. (optional)There are screens displayed with having movie clips of 1960s and much more to explore here.

Good informative visit about partition and pre history. Not as comprehensive as I expected but good lesson for kids. More artifacts needs as compared to multimedia though. Tangible stuff gives more credibility. Perhaps full recording of Quieds and Allama Iqbal speeches will also be beneficial.

+ve: Has good exhibits with enough old pictures and sufficiently detailed timeline to capture significant, varied moments of Pakistans history. Well maintained and new museum. Several guides are there. The ticket is quite affordable at PKR 50 per adult. Solid edutainment value for kids. -ve: Urdu translation needs to be available for *all* oral histories. Selection of individuals for the oral histories suggests a certain elitist slant which is not entirely surprising for those familiar with CAP.

An impressive museum that is up to par with international standards. A must visit for those who are interested in the history of Pakistan especially to hear heart wrenching stories from Muslim refugees who migrated to Pakistan in 1947 to escape persecution in India and see emotionally moving animations that go along with those stories.

Absolutely amazing, a must see for anyone who visits/lives in Lahore. The exhibits are well displayed and interactive, which is one thing that I believe very few museums in Pakistan have.

Lovely place. A visit back in history. Always liked being in this zone. Minare Pakistan, shahi fort, shahi mosque, national museum and minto park.Always love it and feel proud.Museum is good effort. One can take photos with Quaid only for 75/- great experience. Very informative and very well managed. Many videos to listen and history to be watch alive on screen.Letters written between Quaid and Gandhi available on the English and Urdu languagesMany other heroes of Pakistan formation.Worth going there. Whole day can be spent with out getting bored.

Review №51

One of the most interesting and engaging implementations of a national history project.Not propaganda but historical accounts from ordinary people together with historical artifacts well presented and explained.Personally, it pulls at the heartstrings because I can feel the struggle and sacrifice that all involved made to create the concept of Pakistan and then try and build it.Unfortunately, I feel the vision of a safe place for all based on freedom of expression, hard work and welfare for all has still a way to go.However, the exhibits, for example, firsthand audio and video accounts, a VR experience of the journey to Pakistan on partition plus songs and models have the ability to engage young people to continue progress.I would recommend all ages, gender and religions to visit with an open mind and heart. You will not regret it.Made me feel proud to be a British Muslim of Pakistani origin.

If you really want to learn a bit about Pakistans history in a fun, interactive way then this place would be it. The VR train simply blew my mind away. We went to this place as part of the TCFs Rahbar programme. The kids thoroughly enjoyed the museum inside. This made the exposure trip well worth it. Id highly recommend this place for anyone.

It has exhibits and galleries which display and provide information about the ecology, geology, and paleontology of the country. Currently, the museum houses a collection of over 300,000 objects.[1] The museum also acts as a research center and works closely with the Lok Virsa Museum. The museum is open to public everyday, except for Friday, from 10 am to 5 pm.[3] The museum is managed by the Pakistan Science Foundation, under the Ministry of Science and Technology of which Fawad Chaudhry[4][1] is minister from 18 April 2019.

Bad experience due to poor management..I couldnt find the management officer. Guides who supposed to brief about museum tend to sit on chairs instead of guiding. A lady was very rude and she was totally uninterested in briefing. On questioning she threw a glance at us as we are mad. Their behavior must have discouraged their visitors. There is no use of art and technology without art of humanity.It confirms that after creating the building they couldnt find professionals. Poor!

Its a great initiative from our government. Hard work speaks itself; they have put a lots of effort in making and maintaining of this place. This place describes our complete historical image as a nation while covering different aspects like independence, culture, music and some other important things. Its a must visit for people living in Lahore and for others too.***Things to keep in mind while coming here: 1.) Come early if its weekend because the entrance is very crowded 2.) For meusem there is a 50 ruppee entrance ticket per person 3.) The meusem closes around 5-6 PM.
