Best place in lahore city if you like to kill time , 30 PKR is ticket fee, which is nothing as compared what you will see inside.

A HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL BUILDING WITH A GREAT AND ACNCIENT ITEMS OF GREAT INTREST. STUDENTS MUST VISIT IT. I LOVE ITS PHOTOGRAPHY VER MUCH.

No worthwhile collection of items. Old rusty swords and daggers and few old letters written by some unknown people.Plaques on items are old and writing not clearly visible.Except for ego satisfaction of visiting Lahore Museum not much od historical value.One plus point is the cleanliness of inside area and ever vigilant guards

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.

The building is beautiful.. from inside the museum is also well builtNot bad to go on a holiday and spend 1 or 2 hours but the only thing missing is the text. The things arw there but no individual history us mentioned. Historh mentioned on v few things.

Lahore Museum,A very healthy public place for history lovers, foreigners and childrens to show our history with enjoyment.Highly Recommended

Fantastic place for visitors to knows about history of sub continent and Pakistan movement. Its not possible to visit whole museum in single day because everyplace has different views, history & culture. Local guides are not answerable to everyone but they are guided to foreigners & governments officials.

Good place to visit to know more about history.. in just Rs.50

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 its 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, Im 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 theyll probably try and overcharge you if youre 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: dont let them overcharge you, dont be afraid to haggle a bit, and dont 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.

Amazing historical things of different religions r there.Very informative place...must have to go to know the history.

Such a beautiful place with rich architecture and historic artifacts.

Perfect place for family visits, history of whole region. Islam, jain, budh etc.

Amazing Historic Place. Well organised. Must visit. ️ Ammar Hussain

Good place to learn about history. They have expanded Pakistan gallery but Sikh gallery was closed.

Its an great experience here.... Historical and culture is very dominant here... Superb and calm place to visit..

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 its 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 its 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.

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 museums 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.

Masha Allah Such a Great place To visit.History,Culture, Heritage and Religion All gathered..

Well organized, informative in terms of history of pakistan and different old cultures demonstration including muslims, hindus and buddhism... good old currency collection.. beautiful building itself... worth visiting

A great place to get accustomed to culture of subcontinent before and after independence. A must visit for all Pakistanis that can afford to come here. From weapons to art ,sculptures and detailed knowledge of different societies that have lived in this region makes this place a great learning experience for everyone especially young ones.

Great place for history lovers...

If you visit Lahore must visit Museum .Old culture of muslims is adorable

Great collection of historic items. Worth visiting.

Very beautiful and best historical place for families tours and school trips.

This place made me so emotional and set my motivational spirit on fire at the same moment. So patriotic, i wish i could stay for an entire day. No food and drinks allowed in the lobbies except their own cafeteria. Wish to visit again soon

Outstanding museum. Really loved that painting Still Life. Its very vast. Should go early to visit all galleries.

I liked this place,There are so many historical things..

Beautiful Victorian era building that hosts an astounding array of exhibits. Must see in Lahore.

It was good to see the old culture of sub continental and antiques from different regions of the wold.felt like we were thrown back in the past for some moments

A very Good place to visit in lahore. There is a huge collection of antiques.

All of South Asias history summed up with the help of wonderful artifacts. A must visit place to enlighten ourselves regarding our heritage. It presents our history without any religious or national bias

Best place for family visiting

Must visit when in Lahore, thousands of years of history under one roof. The art gallery was not as impressive as one expects but few pieces worth your time specially Saadqain master pieces. Gandhara gallery is full of sculptures representing events in Buddha life. over all good experience.

The place is good but no air conditioning, theres a lot heat inside. No water dispenser, no guide. Museum keepers doesnt know what the history is if anyone asks about something.

Good museum. Entry fee is very minimum for students. 5 RUPEESS. what else do you want. GUYSS DO VISIT. architecture is amazing

Its vry beautiful and informative place cuz here historic things r placed as such that u feel them as real

Amazing place, everyone should visit this. This place tells vast knowlege about ancient civilixation and culture. I really like this place, and wanna visit again and again.

Nice informative display of different historys in IndoPak.

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.

Loved it totally after 30 years living in lahore i had the opportunity to see the museum

Lot of historical things. Worth visiting

Wonderful as always. Building is awesome. A wonderful place to visit. Built in 1865 its a historical Gem.

If you want to go back in to your history then just goo to museum.

If you love history and historical related things, and specifically history based on subcontinent then this is right place you.Lots of amazing Buddha statues and related stuff, Sikh era information and stuff and Mughals related stuff.

Well organised. Amazing collection of artifacts and historical items. Well maintained. Proper airing. Very informative and interesting

Extremely knowledgeable with a very less information about muslim rulers

Very beautiful, organized from inside, the book store guy he helped us with phone call and snacks , amazing educated person, .My only concern is 1000 rps for a ticket is too much for a tourist ppl ... 500 is more than enough

A good place to have a look on the history of the subcontinent specifically indus valley civilization

A very special place to explore history and knowledge.Therere a lot of interesting things from past. Well preserved and well exhibited.

If you are a history lover then a must visit place. Ancient architecture, religion, culture depicted in various forms.

Im adding pics for people to go get a feel of this place. 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.

Very informative about subcontinent history. Must visit for tourist and Lahore residents

Great place to see historic things

It has ample information about the history. unknown for many but a worth visiting place

Well managed facility, contains Indus Valley civilization artefacts.

Easy entry. Tickets cost 50 for adult, 20 for children. Most things related to Turkish Empire. Overall 1hr of entertainment.

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 countrys 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

Agood place and a lot or oldest thing.There are many samples with differet font of The Holy Quran that was my faviort part.

Good but goverment can manage well.

Its very good and unique place to visit with your family

Good place to visit to know the history of Lahore and different Era Mankind.

Good for history lovers. Proper signage and guidance is missing.

Must visit every body to increase your historical knowledge

Its a good place to spend time with history. Most of them are related to the Hindu and Sikh community this in this. Useum

Positive If you go there expecting a huge cultural or historical show, well this is not the place. But You may like it if you are genuinely interested to know the history of the Indo-Pak subcontinent .The museum have different sections from war to freedom revolution to currency to stamps and old weapons.This place have ancient relics of ghandara art plus Harappa, Taxila and Mohenjodaro.If you have interest in paintings then there’s a good collection of miniature paintings too.Negative Not much to see. Decades back when I visited this place it had lots more to offer then.It had artifacts from Buddha and Hindu history /culture, which are totally missing now.The place is really in need of a renovation and lacks the excitement element to attract tourists.The presentation is extremely boring.The halls sre dirty , captions from the exhibits are missing.Not enough light to take pictures.Staff is also as old as the museum itself.

Most wonderful experience going through the history and knowing that there is more to this land than muslims and ancient Buddhist and hindu roots of this land. The coin section need some up gradation. Plus the staff there is too loud.

One of the oldest museum in Pakistan

Make this a stop on your visit. A very good museum with many wonderful artifacts. I recommend getting a guide to take you through the museum, otherwise the importance of many of the artifacts will be missed. Fabulous collection, not well presented or preserved.

The collection of artifacts is great but very badly kept. Poor administration. Seems like no one cares about the gems that are stored there.. Was very disappointed to see the state of affairs in lahore museum

An outstanding museum in Lahore that will let you explore the ancient history of subcontinent, Mughals Splendid era etc.

Niec pleace yes

Very informative, nice place for people with history lovers.

An excellent and may be only place to see antiques in Lahore.

Anyone can feel wonder to see how people used to live before hundereds of year ago.

It is really amazing. It was a great aadventure to go there and look at those beautiful pieces of art.

A place having cultural and religious pieces from. Hinduism, buddism and Muslim history. There is a separate gallery for indo Pak independence containing pictures from that era.
