The Partition Museum

The tickets are for ₹10 each. We visited over the weekend but it wasn’t that crowded. This is the world's first museum dedicated to the 1947 Partition of India, honoring the millions affected by this massive migration. There are videos and testimonials where people explain their story some of which can give you goosebumps. Please pardon the random shots, one is not allowed to video graph here.

The Partition Museum A great place to visit whre the history, culture and tradition meets at the same corner. Here you'll find the mighty sculpture's of legendary personalities. The aesthetic engineering on big and tall buildings can be easily noticed. The market is full of traditional shops including traditional clothing, cultural equipments and mich more. One must pay a vist and enjoy the view of market and you can visit the Golden Temple and jalianwalaa bagh from the same route; Regards Kuchay Umar

A place not far from the Golden Temple. It is a very grand building, constructed from red stone, and it resembles a fortress. The complex includes two restaurants—Amritsari Street Food and Rang-e-Punjab—with pleasant outdoor seating areas. There are also cafés such as Starbucks and Chai Point. I hired a car with a driver for a full day at a cost of 3,000 rupees, and we visited several places, including the military ceremony at the Attari border between India and Pakistan, some ancient Hindu temples, and the Partition Museum. Honestly, I can assure you that if you are a history and geography enthusiast—as I am—you will not leave the museum in less than two to three hours. The museum contains a vast amount of information about Punjab, Bengal, and the city of Amritsar, as well as about the Partition of India after independence. It features maps of undivided India and photographs documenting the tragedies faced by people who were forced to migrate and abandon their homes, on both sides. The exit of the museum is also quite interesting. You go up to the upper floor, reach the terrace, then descend to the lower level where the restrooms and the gift shop are located, before finally reaching the exit gate. It is worth noting that photography and video recording are not permitted inside the museum.

A must visit museum if you are in Amritsar. Visit it even if you have less time. If you have 3 hours you can gain a lot of information. Maybe worth taking the audio guide. The exhibits and photos showcase the tragedy of partition. Museum is very well designed and maintained.

The partition museum is very much detailed about the historical events right around 1947 and what lead to it. Very interesting and at the same time sad listening to all the heartbreaking stories. It's recommended for everyone's from school going kids to elders, it has nice place to eat as well.

The museum offers a great knowledge about the partition of India. I'm surprised how they are charging only Rs. 10 entry fee. It's well maintained, hygiene, glorifying the history of India. It's a must visit place while travelling to Amritsar. Its around 400 metres away from Golden Temple. Don't forget to include this place in your itinerary.
