Itinerary
You will be picked up from your hotel in Amritsar with your local English Speaking guide in a private air-conditioned vehicle for your drive to the museum. This unique museum is dedicated to the memory of the Partition of the subcontinent in 1947 - its victims, its survivors and its lasting legacy. In one of the greatest and most painful upheavals of contemporary history, over twenty million people migrated to a new homeland on the other side of a quickly demarcated border, leaving behind precious memories. In August 1947, when independence was granted to the former imperial domain of British India, it was partitioned into two nation states, India and Pakistan. The drawing of the boundary proved to be the biggest cause of fear, uncertainty and eventual death and destruction. Thousands of families suddenly found themselves strangers in the land where they lived for generations. After your visit to the Partition Museum, you will be escorted back to your Hotel in Amritsar.

We never thought we'd enjoy the time we spent at this museum so much. Not only do you find yourself recalling history we studied and perhaps now forgotten, but it's wonderful to walk through the different halls and marvel at how well curated the themes are. Don't let the unkept drive in deter you, there's great treasure behind the walls.
Being so close to Golden Temple, you find a very few people in Partition Museum which is NOT FAIR. In fact, I spent hours in this museum and got Nostalgic, You may not be born during that time but have heard stories from our grand parents and read in history. Here you witness it yourself. You feel hurt, sad, emotions run down but also feel proud of our great leaders and your country. The real facts are placed in front of you with Pictures, reading material, audio, video, Jail structure, original hand written letters / messages. etc.etc. MUST VISIT PARTITION MUSEUM.
