The Lahore Museum is a place I have visited many times, and I still feel wonder about every single visit. There is always something new to discover or something that simply escaped my eyes previously, which I then observe more closely this time. I always leave feeling amazed.

A few days ago, I went to the Lahore Museum with a roommate. When we reached there, school groups were already there, standing in lines. Seeing all these groups reminded me of my own school days. Nack when I was in the fifth or sixth grade and how we used to go on such tours. I wish i could go back in time.
There is a cannon on the side opposite the museum entrance. I really like that side because of this small architectural piece.
Upon entering the museum, there were many wooden doors from ancient times and from the Mughal period. I was astonished on seeing the intricate details on them.

The museum was so vast and large that if one were to explore it completely, it could easily take an entire day. But, we took a quick look around everything and captured a lot of photos, and then went back.
