Sindhology Muesum Jamshoro - Where You Can See The Entire Sindh

Hello, Local Guides family,

The history of South Asia is so old that archeologists are still finding Cultural & Traditional ruins from this region.

Some months ago, Local Guides from Sindh were invited for a trip to promote Tourism in Sindh. So @sheeraz @mariazaib @Swalay & @Bilal_shaikh and other friends were the people who joined it.

The trip began from Boat Basin Clifton Karachi for one of The Largest Fort in the World RaniKot Fort which was our final destination for the trip (Here you can read the complete story of my prior post for the great adventure of RaniKot), But on the way, we visited some other places as well, like Al-Manzar Point and other stunning places, but today I want to share about the Unique Museum of Sindhology.

If we measure the distance from Karachi, Sindhology Museum is 140 Kilometers far, and approx 2 hours 15 minutes drive.

We reached there at 1 pm, and the weather in Hyderabad was not so friendly, it was a burning hot day there. But when we attained Sindh University and then the institute of Sindhology, because of so much greenery and trees, The weather started to improve there. As soon as we arrived there, the admin welcomed us, and let us enter the museum with warm gestures.

The Institute of Sindhology has been perceived all over the world as its type of cultural stockroom. The institute has an “Anthropological Research Center and Sindh Arts Gallery” in which exhibits of objects, various cultural and linguistic aspects of Sindh, and well-known characters of Sindh are arranged here. The main objective of the Sindhology Museum is to compile and coordinate the research of the 1970s for in-depth and extensive research on the ancient civilization of the Indus Valley and present-day Sindh. For this motive, work has been started to organize detailed documentation for the benefit of research scholars.

The collection of individual antiques turned on before the year 1970, the creations illustrating archaeological material, wooden work, thread embroidery work, metal work, leather work, pottery, ancient Jewelry, Coins, Arms, Photographs, and paintings have been exhibited. The vast variation of collections in the Museum has been exemplified in various halls.

The museum area has been allocated into various sections called general, coins, archaeological, ethnological, musical, photographic, and painting galleries respectively. There is a particular hall devoted to outstanding personalities that contain portraits of more than 175 popular poets, authors, philosophers, educationists, sociable workers, politicians, lawyers, sovereignty fighters, sacred leaders, and public figures. Dedicated corners are committed to people such as Muhammad Ali Jinnah (Quaid E Azam, The Father of the nation), Hassan Ali Affandi (famous scholar), Pir Hussam ud din Rashdi (Religious Leader), Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto and his daughter Benazir Bhutto (Both were Prime Ministers) and numerous other famous personalities from the historical land of Sindh.

(Thanks to Sindh Tourism & Cultural Department for such valuable information)

It was the first time when I was exploring a place that brought me 100 years back to the time, and when I was just thinking after seeing the jewelry from ancient cities of Sindh like Mohen-jo-Daro, Bhambhore, and Thatta, How did people live there, how they live their lives, what were their businesses, what did they do for a living?

How could their women do such good embroidery work and how did they create such fine jewelry? While thousands of years ago, technology was not so advanced, Or maybe there were people more advanced than us.

Many people, including me, must have these questions after visiting any museum.

The most special thing is that the culture of all the regions of Sindh has been highlighted in this museum. Their businesses, past and present, and their way of life are all demonstrated in striking detail.

The various wax sculptures in this museum also depict cultural & colorful weddings and their festivals in different places of Sindh. The biggest advantage I see in coming here. Here I could see all the things that I could see in Bhambore, Thatta & Probably in Mohenjo-Daro.

There are entry fees for the visitors of the museum, but as we were guests of Sindh Tourism Department and Sambara Travels, we hadn’t been paid for it, but normally they charge an equal to 1$ 50c per person.

And for the people who have different abilities or we can say :wheelchair: Wheelchair users, they have a moveable ramp near the entrance. Here I’m sharing myGoogle Maps Review for Sindhology Museum Jamshoro Hyderabad.

This museum looks huge and offers so many things to see, I am sure @KashifMisidia Bhai it may take a long time to visit all the galleries.

The life-like scenarios about Sindh are impressive and your photo collages capture them all at once beautifully.

I especially like the multi-color relief map of Sindh :+1:

Hello dear friends @KashifMisidia @sheeraz @mariazaib @Swalay & @Bilal_shaikh,

Wonderful article about “Sindhology Museum”.

The photos in the article is very helpful in explaining what you have written.

The narration is also interesting, like a story.

Travelling 140 kms to cover this beautiful destination is not a sartorius - it is/was worth the efforts.

Both the videos are nice, though I have seen & commented on the first video. The second video also is very interesting and informative - thanks for sharing these information.

Sincere appreciation to the authorities who took this initiative… Hats off to them - kindly convey our sincere regards, if possible.

Hope to see such valuable posts from you all…

Best wishes for all success.

:pray:
