Lahore Museum

this was one of the best museums i’ve visited in a while. the building itself has a beautiful british-era exterior. walking into the building feels like you’re going back in time with timeless architecture surrounding you. there are so many interesting galleries that you could easily spend the whole day here (my favourite was the manuscripts gallery, which had several beautifully-calligraphied books). the museum also has a huge buddhist and hindu gallery, both of which were quite interesting to see. the entry fee is only 50 rs, which was really cheap.

I visited the Lahore Museum almost one year ago, and it was a very memorable experience for me. The museum is an important part of the city’s heritage, and it truly reflects the rich history and culture of the subcontinent, especially Punjab. I was very impressed by the wide collection of artifacts preserved in the museum. The administration has done a great job representing different eras, religions, and cultural traditions under one roof. One thing I found very unique is the way the museum showcases the religious history of South Asia. You can see objects related to Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, and even Jainism, which is not very commonly represented in many museums. This diversity shows how different communities have lived together and influenced each other over centuries. The museum helps you understand our shared cultural roots and traditions. The environment inside the museum was neat and clean, and the staff were helpful and cooperative. They guided visitors whenever needed and maintained good discipline and decorum. I also liked the architecture of the museum building. The design is beautiful, with a classic style that reminds you of the old heritage of Lahore. The building itself feels like a historical landmark. Overall, I highly recommend visiting the Lahore Museum. It is a great place for students, history lovers, and anyone who wants to learn more about the cultural identity of Punjab and the subcontinent. It is truly a treasure for future generations.

A lovely museum in Lahore housed in an old building dating back to the British era. The museum is packed with historical artifacts showing the history of this amazing land. You will witness Hindu history, Sikh history, Buddhist history, British history, Muslim items, and local traditional culture. The artifacts span across several chambers all on the same floor. The place is extremely rich with what it offers. Tickets are bought at the entrance by cash only. The place can be quite packed with visitors. There is a library adjacent to this museum. Expect to spend 2 hours onwards here.

Well maintained museum. The staff was good and the ticket cost only 50 rupees per person. For foreigners, the ticket is 1000 PKR because it includes a guide/translator who gives a full museum tour. A great place to learn about Lahore and the subcontinent’s history. A lot of knowledge in one place. highly recommended!

Visited Lahore Museum today after a long time. I must say the Gandhara Gallery is one of the best—it represents an important part of our history that many people in Pakistan tend to overlook. Our whole curriculum revolves around events from 712AD and Pakistan Movement! One of the most crowded sections, as you would expect, was the Islamic Gallery, with Saddaqin’s work everywhere :D Special thanks to the polite archaeologist (forgot to ask her name) who guided us around and explained everything in a very simple way for the kids in my family.

Lahore Museum is a timeless gateway into the rich history and culture of the subcontinent. Located on The Mall Road, it beautifully showcases Gandhara art, Mughal-era artifacts, Islamic calligraphy, miniature paintings, and ancient sculptures. The famous Fasting Buddha alone makes the visit unforgettable.

Lahore museum is a very good place. The building itself is very old and has a history. Take the ticket and behind the ticket is the map of museum. Start from the end of the museum so you don't miss any part. I'd suggest go to first floor and start with Pakistan's independence history section. Take water bottle with you as there was no canteen. If you have interest in history try to visit as early in the morning as possible. It takes too much time to watch each part thoroughly ( took me since I am a history admirer) If you are visiting with your school or college please try to take a look at the articles. Mostly children were running and making videos so they can watch later 😄. Enjoy the moment.

The building is historic and very impressive. Inside, the galleries have a good collection of old artefacts and cultural items. It is a calm place and gives a nice overview of history. Overall, it was a good and informative visit.
