Being on the holiday, I am here to see the Lok Virsa Museum. I brought my son, six-year-old son. It’s very important for the kids to see this very nice museum. And the whole culture of Pakistan is here. It’s very, very attractive for the foreigners and the locals as well. So I would like to recommend all people from all over the world to come here and see.
