Locally Lahore Team Visit to Lahore Museum

Lahore Museum is considered as one of the major museum in South Asia. It was established in 1894 in Lahore. Lahore museum is located on Mall Road. Because of the immensity of its compilation and importance, Locally Lahore team choosed Lahore Museum for the first visit. The plan was set on Saturday, January 17, 2015. Firstly, All team members gathered at 'Pak Tea House' on Mall Road.

Pak Tea House is a famous tea house on mall road near old Anarkali. It is 81 years old place in Lahore. Many famous artists, cultural and literary personalities used to sit there. We discussed there our complete visit plan and had fine chai (tea) which was good enough to temporary intellectual debates.

After having tea, we had a walk to museum through old Anarkali (food street). We saw many old building there. Also old small lanes called as 'Katri'. As there are many traditional food shops. The idea was to bring out the old and traditional foods for all and sundry at one place. Now the famous “Phajjay kay Paye” originated from old Lahore, are available here, besides the Doctor Nihari, Sardar’s fried fish, pathooray, katlamma and much more. Besides for the sweet tooth, a variety of sweet dishes are available like jalaibees, firni, kheer and others.

It is not possible that you are passing through a street where you can feel awesome tasty fragrance of food. So, we went to a shop named '' and had breakfast of tasty 'Nan Chanay' there.

After having breakfast, we walked to museum. The front view of building is so beautiful and graceful. The reddish stones of building gives really attractive view of it.

Queen Victoria

My Favorite part of Museum is Queen Victoria statue. Queen Victoria was queen of Great Britain and Ireland. This bronze statue of Queen Victoria was first displayed in Charing Cross Lahore under the marble canopy. But later it was replace with with stoned replica of Quran and it was shifted to the Lahore Museum in 1974.
