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

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 cant remember now).There is only one problem in the museum and that is its hot inside, only fans are operating but no proper air conditioning or airflow system. (Youll see two ACs in the coins gallery only).Visit this museum with friends or family or you can even go alone and find out about our history.

Very beautiful and entertaining heritage site/Museum. Most of it part is open for public but about 10-20% portion is reserved for vips and foreigners.This museum includes and cover very old history as well as Sub continent of Asia Hindustan.Everyone must visit this beautiful site. But Administration should focus on the betterment of the behaviour of staff .

Museum is great and full of historical content Like all the things and enjoy a lot....

One will always enjoy the visit specially children like this place.. you had wide range of antiques collection.. ranging from historic periods... you can see .. . arms .. paintings.. coins and postal stamps

Lahore Museum building is very attractive. Museum has a large Collection of antique things and remainings of old civilizations.My experienced was average.

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.

Lahore meuseum is a great place to visit, where you can find an Ind o Pak olden days cultural collection.

Get good knowledge of which I havent before, about the history of Pakistan it taken full-day for the whole visit

Today I visited Lahore museum and it was a great experience and day that was full of history including Islamic, Pakistan tehrek e azadi , Sindh,and old Muslim culture

Its an excellent history preserving place, to know about culture of ancient and different religons carefully

I remember my first visit to Lahore museum with my uncle. I was almost 5 years old. I had no sense of analyzing the ancient objects but I remember some sections forever. For example, the statue of Queen Elizabeth in the museum and the statue outside Punjab University.

Must see attraction in Lahore.Showcasing a huge amount of history.

Mostly pictures and it is promoting hindu culture. Not my favourite place to visit.

Lahore Museum is wonderful place. Its preserve huge history and heritage specially Buddhist and janisim collection is wonderful and attractive well preserved and well display. Meusum staff is very cooperative and well trained.

Archaeology, art, heritage, modern history, religious, hindus culture

Very nice place have more than 4 halls each for a specific period of time, well maintained and clean and it’s location is good not far of the Center of Lahore.

Very nice place . Museum including things of history of Pakistan, nation, religion. Fantastic contribution to history. Knowledge for history students

Visited on Mar 10 2021 around 11am.A must visit place in Lahore if you want to see heritage and culture.Although many items/maps/costumes/statues are not antique but overall its a decent place to visit.

The wealth and beauty of the exposed objects is not to be missed. Absolutely a must when visiting Lahore.

One will always enjoy the visit specially children like this place.. you had wide range of antiques collection.. ranging from historic periods. you can see arms ,paintings,coins and postal stamps.۔Its an excellent history preserving place, to know about culture of ancient anddifferent religons carefully

Museum was marvelous place ..we just feel that we are living in old age like a century ago ...

Very good and nice app. I love it. It makes my life easier to go to places where i want to go.. love it 5 star

Lahore Museum is a hidden gem and an absolute delight. The ticket cost for adults is just RS 50 and for children its only RS 20. The museum is divided into multiple sections. Indus valley civilization, islamic civilization, pakistan movement and a section on Hindu and Buddist heritage. There is also a small section in coins and stamps.The museum has impressive collection of atifects from Indus as well as gandhara civilization.Its one of the best museum in Pakistan a must visit

Must visit . All the history you wana knowww....

Informative area which should be saved properly.

It is situated in walking distance from the metro station and can be easily accessed.It offers parking but is currently closed due to the present situations!Once you are inside the main gate you have to pass through temperature checking, ticket counter, sensitization point and boom, you are now surrounded by the historical, cultural, religious and memorable creations of different civilizations.The ticket costs,PKR-1000 for foreigners, PKR-50 for adults and PKR-20 for children and students.One thing to note that the Museum Library is also present inside the same boundaries, in the third floor of the auditorium to ve accurate and there is also a canteen there where you will find books, stationary, juice, cold drink and much more but in comparatively higher price than the surroundings.Talking about the Museum, it is blessed with a beautiful garden, full of vibrant flowers and eye-catching greenery. Inside, there are the following 14 sections/galleries which are active currently!1. Pre-Historic and Indus Valley Gallery2. Miniature Paintings Gallery3. Islamic Gallery4. Hindu, Buddhist and Jain Gallery5. Gandhara Gallery6. 23rd March, Pakistan Day Exhibition7. Contemporary Painting Gallery8. Manuscripts and Calligraphes Gallery9. Ethnological Gallery10. Jain Temple Gallery11. Arms Gallery12. Pakistan Movement Gallery13. Coins Gallery14. Pakistan Postal Stamps Gallery

Good placein this museum most off knowledge is about Mughal empirealso deferent regions history

It could ve a much bettter disay...thr place was hot and humid..there were some marvellous artifacts...but the description written in english was not correct in many!Under a military blow horn it was written helmet to wear in war!! This is pathetic..a museum giving wrong details and description!!And under one. Miniature painting it was written A Peacock tempting a Lady!! How ridiculous !!! I was flabbergasted😯The Museum itself is a great attraction but needs improvement for tourists to come and have a remarkable experience.

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 its 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 regimes 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 its historic photographs, letters and newspaper collections.To conclude, it is a great place to visit, whether youre 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 its building architecture designed by late Sir Ganga Ram.Moreover, it is on the prime Location of Mall RoadPro tip: After visiting the museum, dont forget to take a tea ☕ at Pak tea House just around the corner. It is the den of Pakistani Literature ( Faiz, Munto, Faraz)

It was a very nice place, you can find a lot of historical things....

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.

Good place to visit, ticket fee for local is Rs 50 and for foreigners its Rs 1000. They stop selling tickets at 1630. Usually not very crowded. Take some water with you because the ACs inside dont seem to work too well.

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.

Great. Amazing experience. A must go place for kids to learn about history, culture and religion of historic times.

A very informative place for culture and history of Indo Pak Subcontinent.

Absolutely a must visit place,very rich of history 5 stars for this place

Very impressive way to deal public during covid 19 “remarkable innovation at entrance of Museum🎋

Lahore Museums 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 countrys largest and oldest collection of historical, cultural and artistic objects.

A heavily loaded place with culture of Sub-Continental and Pakistan History

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.

Such a beautiful place with rich architecture and historic artifacts.

Showcasing Wonderful National Heritage of Pakistan in Lahore

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.

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.

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.

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

One of the greatest museum in the world,Learned alot regarding our history,culture & values.Felt so much proud to see our past that we as a nation have lots of historical memories and especially tolerance for all the people living side by side.Parents should bring there children and show them our true identity and ideology, so they can also learn from our past.

Really enjoyed in museum to see the antique and historic items.I really like the painting section and some old wars items.RegardsArslan mahmood

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. 👌👌

I love ❤️😘 this place its awesome..I have visited there in 2004 ....now again visited there with my family on Sunday 06/09/2021

Garden and gardens in the city and in new Jersey and south America will also offer free wine tasting meals in a row of the top ten restaurants at home and the family in new Jersey and will host an outdoor concert with the job at St. John art school and a few weeks and a half hour of new years eve and the new York city home to the city of new York city home to the city of new York city home to the city of

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

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

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

Please take ur kids to this place... u will get alot of knowledge... mughal designed building, still in great shape and very well managed and maintained...Ticket: 50Rs

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

Great Place. Holds heritage and history quite well. Itll be a much better experience of there was a guide or if the dates were mentioned along the details.

One of the most fascinating places of Lahore.

A heritage doesnt mean that we have to view and display the idol and fire worships in the museum.Nothing special but the hundreds of pictures are used on upper floor to fulfill the space. The idols in the museum must be removed. Islam is most important than all these foolish things

Its a place of heritage, very old culture products, ghandra, harapa, Asia old heritage products, good stuff for history students

I love so much this place a red brick, the old Mughal architecture, with a full of peaceful environment and helping staff. There are many galleries like Indus valley collection,Islamic, Jain, stemp posting, coins, paintings, manuscript, Iqbal, qauid, Buddha, Jainism collections and more but I loved so much the Islamic manuscript and Buddhas collection. Highly recommend to visit 😊

Great place to revive memories of the past with well preserved hostory. At times some sections are on maintenance, which is fine, but they should keep such updates well documented on their site for better tourist awareness.Moreover the place is too hot in Summers with very ineffective ventilation and no Air conditioning in place, taking away the poasibilities of exploring all sections on detail.Staff is helpful but not very much aware of the artifacts to guide people if required. The information clusters were missing for some of the artifacts in old history sections.History section for Pakistan is very detailed and well covered. Loved to explore and know about that.

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.

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.

The museum has a number of Greco-Buddhist sculptures, Mughal and Pahari paintings on display. The collection contains important relics from the Indus Valley civilisation, 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 ceiling of the entrance hall features a large mural by renowned Pakistani artist Sadequain who originally made the mural in 1972 and 1973.The museum also contains fine specimens of Mughal and Sikh carved woodwork and has a large collection of paintings dating back to the British period. The collection also includes musical instruments, ancient jewellery, textiles, pottery, and armory, as well as some Tibetan and Nepalese work on display.

That was awesome

Nice place

Good place many informative history things see

Best for learn about your history

Good place but it should be centerally air conditioned...staff deployed is rude like any other govt staff

This place so beautiful

Even though it is a great place regarding Islamic and cultural history the biggest downfall was lack of ventilation and there are no air conditioners making it very tough to walk around during summer

One of most interesting and beautiful place to visit while youre in Lahore, especially when theres so much to learn about history and culture!

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

Very nice place and so many historical thing have inside

A good place to know the history. But they should at least make it air conditioned so peoples could spend much time to know better.

Wonderful Place To Visist Specialy for Children and Students.

The Lahore Museum was built in the 18th century. The Museum holds some of the great relics of history within its bounds.

The remains from the Sikh and British empires are also present in the Museum as a piece of history.Besides these artifacts, paintings and wooden crafts are portraying life from ancient times. The famous “Fasting Buddha” statue is also present in the Museum.

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

If you are looking for a huge disappointment this is the best place to visit in Lahore.

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.

U would love if u love history ,History is there u feel like in old ages,Sikh ,budhmat,Islamic and Pakistan independent history art and pic gallery.Once u want to know the history about religion of aisa u will get lot of things to learn.A very well managed institute by the lahore devolvement authority (LDA).

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

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

Good place for visiting.

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

An excellent place to watch at least once in ur life

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

Definitely the best treasure trove of this regions history. Unfortunately the ambience is pathetic with no proper guidance for the visitors. Staff seemed uninterested in extending anu help.Needs very serious overhauling.

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