It's a great effort to show not only the culture and traditional arts and crafts of Pakistan but is the surrounding countries as well. Very well thought out and planned. It was well maintained as well. A great place to take your kids and especially your foreign friends to show them all of Pakistan under one roof. Although there is still room for improvement (there always is) I'm giving it a 5 star rating because it's refreshing to see something like this in Pakistan!

If you want to know about the different cultures of Pakistan as well as those who have immigrated here, you definitely have to visit. The place is clean and a nice path is set out for you as a viewer to see every part of the museum. Would love to see the artefacts in somewhat better lighting though. There are shops in the vicinity for souvenirs which are also a great addition to the place. Thanks for reading. I hope you will get something helpful ☺️

Nice museum, containing of very diverse scenes in which you can see how people used to live, work, create art, sail, herd their cattle or just enjoy themselves. It isn't big but take your time to read the explaining signs and take your time to watch the detailed scenes. Outside you'll find shops with authentic, handcrafted hats, bowls and other artefacts. Worth a visit!
