    The Ticket for foreigners is 100 Rs. (1.5 Euros). The Museum is open from 9 a.m to 4 a.m usually. So, its better to go there after taking breakfast. The opening timings of Museum are from 9 a.m to 4 p.m. In the picture on the left u can see Chris standing near the entrance of the museum.

    Lahore Museum is considered to be the Best in whole country. You must give it a visit. If you are a history lover than it will surely consume 2 to 3 hours so its better if u reach there in the morning or after noon.

    Pakistan has got golden treasures of history and civilisation. The Mohenjodaro and Harrapa on the bank of the river Indus are considered world's second oldest rich civilisations after Egyptian civilisation.

    In Lahore Museum there are different sections dedicated to there civilisations. If you are unable to go to Harrapa or Mohenjodaro then u must visit Lahore museum to learn more about these places and their thousand's of year old traditions.

    There are more pictures from the lahore musuem in a travelogue.

    Lahore Museum exhibits the recorded history of the subcontinent. Part of the collection was removed to India after Partition but this is still the biggest and perhaps the most impressive museum in Pakistan. The museum has 20 galleries with items dating from the Stone age to the 20th century. Its famous for its display of Gandharan sculpture (especially the fasting Buddha), manuscripts, Qurans, paintngs, carpets and Islamic art.
