the museum is at the grounds of a market with local art and traditional clothes, woodwork, paintings etc. especially when there is a exposition/"feria" its a great time to get to see all the local artists and musicians perform. prices are local too, so its a great option to sample anything traditional.

Paid pkr500 per person for entry to this Museum , you can see the culture and history from different part of states , cities of Pakistan from this Museum and also some other countries too . There’s several shop selling Pakistan shoes , scarves, traditional clothes , arts and crafts . I rode the horse cart for around pkr 500 per ride , it took us to a place behind the Museum which is great for taking photos and I saw Pakistan couples taking their wedding photo at the surrounding area .There’s a food court here .

This is such a well-maintained museum that takes you on a tour of Pakistan through the years, all while highlighting the different cultures by state (province) in the country as well. You get to see different art forms, like calligraphy, pottery, weaving, music too. The entry fees are minimal and the are is clean and well organized.

This was by far the hidden surprise of our visit to Islamabad. It was very well kept and the descriptions of the various displays were very informative. Different regions, ethnicities and civilizations were quite skillfully represented. I would definitely recommend a visit to this museum.

I visit Lok Virsa on a regular basis. I love walking through the museum and the bazaar. There is so much to see, so much to learn, great food and some awesome shop keepers. If you are in Islamabad. You shouldn’t skip this.

Heritage Museum, Faiz Heritage Library,Lok Khaba, Sharbat Point, Artisan Bazar, Craft Bazar, An Open Air Theatre, A Media Centre, Zarsanga Hall, Mai Bhagi Hall, Museum Hall and Pakistan Monument Museum, Lok Virsa houses all these unique and incredible places with the slight exception that Pakistan Monument Museum is located atop the Shakarpariyan Hill next to the Pakistan Monument(which is administered by CDA). Some reviewers have said that a visit to Heritage Museum requires half a day, but in reality the time required to take in the scope and beauty offered by Lok Virsa is actually a week at the minimum because there are various programs which take place at Lok Virsa in different parts of the week. Media centre is home to Mandwa Film Club which plays a different movie every Saturday. An Open Mic takes place on Thursday and Sunday. Now the Faiz Heritage Library has started it's own literary series for youth. Overall, the place is a bustling hub of activities focused on advancing cultures of Pakistan. If you want to subscribe to the various programs happening at Lok Virsa then walk into the ED block and get yourself registered by giving your email ID and phone number. Visit the Lok Virsa page on Facebook to remain in the know. And oh yes, one vital detail which I am getting my head around to now, is that Lok Virsa is the body which administers the all-popular Heritage Museum. While the museum brilliantly showcases ethnology of Pakistan, Lok Virsa works on various other cultural aspects. So there's that too. It's really a gem of a place.

place dedicated to Pakistan's heritage. well worth to see the ethnography, history and culture and the different communities that make up Pakistan.
Some good Qawwali singers perform outside the museum and they are worth listening to.
