These portraits depicted bravery of Singhs, their tolerance, Sikh history culture, traditions and sacrifices made for the independence of country in a glorious manner. Thus the museum describes great Sikh history in the form if these pictures.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It is a must visit place. Many people who go to Golden Temple do not know about this museum; therefore you will find almost no crowd here. It is inside Golden temple itself in the first floor. You will get lots of details about history and marvelous paintings there. Photography is prohibited inside.
