Through relics from homes left behind
Embark on a heartbreaking journey as you tour the Partition Museum's treasure trove of artefacts. Each item within its collection bears witness to the harrowing experiences of that violent era. From humble pocket watches and utensils to weathered trunks and tin boxes, from ancient coins to the sturdy rope beds that served as lifelines for refugees during dangerous border crossings, and from vintage monochrome family photographs to an array of other historically and culturally significant relics—each piece encapsulates a chapter of loss, survival, and the human spirit amidst the chaos of partition.
Through paintings, photographs and the spoken word
Be a witness to the haunting echoes of the partition trauma captured on canvas and in black-and-white photographs.

Go through their works and find for yourself the raw emotions and profound depths of pain that permeate each piece.
The museum also offers rich multimedia via audiovisual stations across its 14 galleries. Here, the voices of those disregarded by history find resonance, with over 100 interviews echoing through the halls.
