A national museum was established in Frere Hall at Karachi and was inaugurated on 17th April, 1950 by Khawaja Nazimudden, then Governor General of Pakistan. After shifting of Federal capital to Islamabad the necessity of Establishment of National Museum realized. In view of the importance of National Museum of Pakistan at Islamabad, a plot measuring 3.24 acres located at Shakar Parian near lok virsa complex was earmarked by the C.D.A for the said project in 1970. A nucleus of the National Museum of Pakistan, Islamabad was established in a private house in E-7 Sector, Islamabad in 1994.
