The gangs who ruled the city once are exterminated and prosecuted by the government. Now, it is as safe as heaven. Let’s discuss a few of the must-visit places in Karachi.
National Museum of Pakistan:
Pakistan lies in the place which is known as the cradle of civilization. Most of this epic history has persevered in different places in Pakistan; the National Museum of Pakistan being one of them. This museum was once named as the Victoria Museum during the time of British rule. Later on, its name was changed to the National Museum of Pakistan in 1950. This museum portrays the cultural history of Pakistan and preserves the items containing paintings, Indus civilization artifacts, ancient coins, Islamic art, sculptures, monuments, and Pakistan’s historical documentation.
