History
Pakistan National Museum of Ethnology (Heritage Museum) earlier known as Folk Art Museum was established in 1982 with a covered area of around twenty thousand (20,000) square feet. However, in 2004 after the up-gradation and renovation, the Museum was re-named as Pakistan National Museum of Ethnology popularly known as Heritage Museum.
The fascinating thing about the Heritage Museum is that it presents history and living traditions of the people of Pakistan both from the main stream and the remotest regions of the country.
