Archaeology & Anthropology Museum
The PC-I of the museum was approved by HEC and the building has completed. This
museum display a representative collection of all archaeological periods. The
building contains two major display halls. The ground floor where archaeological
material collected by department of archaeology through various survey and
excavation projects will be displayed. The artifacts will also be loaned from
federal and provincial department as well.
On the first floor anthropological items will be displayed for the common
traditional features of societies from all provinces of Pakistan that how they
actually look during their daily life. There will be display of other items
like, arms. Embroidery, jewelry, coins, ancient document etc. there are several
galleries where cultural items will be displayed .
The museum illustrates the art, crafts and cultures of the country from earliest
human occupation down to recent times. This would also include a gallery showing
village life and working of ancient traditional crafts of all regions and
present ethnographic view of the cultures of each region. In many countries
archaeological research is carried out in the museum as well, apart from the
university, and play the role of laboratories for the archeology institutes, but
in Pakistan it is not the case, the national and provisional museums are mainly
display centers playing hardly any role in the academic research and analytical
studios, the museum being established by us is being built on scientific lines
where we will have the facility for analytical studies infract this would be the
first in Pakistan with such facilities . this museum has a well equipped
chemical and conservation laboratory for the treatment and preservation of
museum specimen (metals, stone, pottery, pottery, bones etc.) in addition to
working rooms and storage space.
