National Institute of Folk and Traditional Heritage, Lok Virsa has taken over the charge of the delayed project of Pakistan Monument Museum (PMM) being established here at Shakarparian.
Having a distinct and well-defined identity with its location next to National Monument, the PMM project has been delayed for two years and it will take one more year to complete, said Khalid Javaid, Executive Director Lok Virsa. The prime objective of this museum will be to explain Pakistan in historical perspective not only to the visiting foreigners but also to the Pakistanis and future generations of Pakistan at home, Khalid Javaid told APP. The overriding purpose of the multi-dimensional displays in the museum will be to make clear in very uncomplicated and simple terms the birth, history, identity, society and advancement and achievement of Pakistan as a modern and progressive nation.
He said this would be a Thematic Museum that explains and projects Pakistan in all its dimensions of thought and action, dream and materialisation of the dream without raising controversies or complex issues.
"It will be a Modern Museum that employs state-of-the-art technology and display techniques for presentation while it will also be a prime educational facility for children of all ages and an activity museum where visitors can interact with three dimensional exhibits, virtual constructs and cyber innovations," he added.
