The
Kasur Museum, housed in a building 2km away from the city, is
a picture of solitude on the Lahore-Kasur highway, which is used by
the hundreds of people daily. It is provided with hand-written Quran
manuscripts, fossils from Chakwal, jewelry items and artifacts from the
Sikh period as well as photographs related to the Pakistan movement. A
manuscript of the Holy Quran, handwritten by prominent calligrapher
Hafiz Mustafa Afghan Kasuri in 1179, manuscripts in Nastaleeq style,
weapons belonging to the Muslim period and a special Tehrik-i-Pakistan
Gallery are some important features of the museum. Established in 1999,
the museum is located on the premises of what used to be the court of
sub-divisional magistrate in repartition days.
