About Partition Museum

  • About Us

The Partition of India has been one of the most defining events in the history of the subcontinent. It was the largest migration in human history and upto 20 million people were affected. Despite the extensive loss to life and property, 70 years later there existed a severe lacuna that no museum or memorial existed anywhere in the world to remember all those millions. The Partition Museum aims to fill this void and tell the story through the voices of those who lived through the times.  [More]

The partion museum depicts the history of struggle indian independence and post independence the partition pain. After visiting this museum, one can increase their history knowledge. From original transcript to newspaper cutting to pictures, this place got everything. It is very painful after seeing the partition.

The experience was so good. As an architecture student I m so impressed with its planning and interior decorations. The world's first Partition Museum is now open at the historic Town Hall building in Amritsar. The Partition of India was one of the most defining events in the nation's history. It was perhaps the largest migration in human history, with some 18 million affected. The Museum is part of the newly inaugurated Heritage Street at Amritsar, which starts at the Golden Temple and ends at the Town Hall.

We are not allowed to click pics inside. So you won't find many pictures. It is a must visit place near Hall gate. Kids felt pain of those who faced partition. They learnt about our history. A must visit place and less famous as compared to other places in Amritsar. Do visit if you are in Amritsar.

Everyone must visit the museum when in Amritsar. Can see the glimpses of pain and suffering dealt by the people during partition, While their suffering was even more. It’s very educational. The Audio and video interactions of the people suffered can be seen and heard. One can feel the suffering people went through during the partition time. No photography is allowed inside. Visit well before the visiting hours so that you can take your time reading every article. Salute to the fallen.

Awesome! It is housed in the huge old Police headquarters of British era and was inaugurated in 2017. The museum is well maintained, curated with audio video which truly depicts the partition history of India without the knowledge of which one (Indian or foreigner) cannot fathom the ethos of modern India, its pangs and sorrows, its rugged nation rebuilding spirit and human survival spirit. It's a must visit place in Amritsar. I wish to revisit Amritsar to allocate at least one full day to view/listen and understand the partition history of India which witnessed the largest migration of human beings in the world history.

This is my favourite place at Amritsar as this place provides all the things to get knowledge and information about Partition. All visuals and hearing aids are available in record form . Students of young age must visit and learn about the 1947 One should learn from the mistakes made in history. Every country should prepare itself for a beautiful and secure future.

It's a very nice place to be at. It talks about the history of India-Pakistan partition, refugees and all other related events. It'll easily consume 2-3 hours of your time depending upon the level of details you read. The ticket costs Rs. 10. It's not allowed to take pictures inside the museum.
