I think this museum located in the Lok Virsa Complex is a must visit by all tourists(including locals who have not yet seen this) coming to Islamabad. You will find a beautiful presentation of Pakistani culture of various ages. Old to new and the story of Pakistan and the subcontinent. All at one place. At times we get a feeling that this museum has been organized and laid out on the lines of DUBAI MUSEUM: probably even better than that. You will also find some handicraft shops selling local garments and souvenirs, at the entrance. Since the cameras are not allowed thus you may not find many photographs. Address: Lok Virsa Shakar Purian HillsPhone: +92-51-9201651, 9203983Directions: Located near Shakarparian. You will have to hire a cab which should not charge you more than Ruppee 200Other Contact: http://islamabad.net/
