A Visit To A Museum

The Lahore Museum is an important place where works of art, and other objects of
historical value are kept and displayed. The Incharge of the museum is called the curator.
Last Friday, some of my friends decided to visit the Lahore Museum. We reached at the
main gate of the museum and bought tickets. As I entered the big museum hall, I saw many
statues of famous men and women of history. The Museum is divided into various sections.
There were neatly arranged glass-cases which displayed ancient swords, daggers, garments,
ornaments, coins, bows and arrows. There were paintings, pictures and clay models of
ancient craftsmanship. The huge statue of Queen Victoria lay in one room of the museum.
There were old manuscripts of the Holy Quran in another room. We also visited the section
of old handwritten books. Books by famous Arabic, Persian, English and French writers on
history, religion, art, science, etc. were lying in beautiful shelves. Most of the other items in
the museum like the bricks and materials used in ancient buildings, the plans of cities,
towns and villages placed in the form of small models, the books and magazines published
in different ages and in different countries, etc. added to my knowledge a great deal. A main
item of interest was carpets. It was a surprise to see thousands of years old Iranian carpets
with pictures of kings and queens and courts and hunting scenes. Side by side I saw ancient
garments. An important part of the museum had arms used in different ages. I found guns
of different sizes. There was a huge collection and variety of objects that cannot be
described. We passed through every part of the museum. In the evening we returned home
happily but tiredly. It was a delightful visit.
