THE BEST BOOKS ON LAHORE ARE GETTING UNKNOWN
BEING REPLACED BY SHAM BOOKS ON ITS HISTORY
Going back to the roots
It takes us great pleasure to list some of the best books on Lahore. You will find truth as well as Ideology in it. False Hindu writers are twisting stories about Lahore. We will seek to correct their falsehood with time. And we will talk more about these books in the future. Remember our museum has the best Archives on Lahore, not only printed books, but documents as well as Manuscripts.

hello sir
how are you…..can you guide me to where i can purchase Abdullah chugtais sb s book on history of islamic art….
thanks
No where. After his death, his children sold the shop as well as the books inside it. His library went to the National Book Library in Islamabad (filled with other books not separate). His manuscripts got bought by Pathan booksellers. The only way is to either ask us for copies, or search Anarkali bazaar on Sundays. Or some libraries may still have them. Sad when children discard legacy of famous parents. All books need to be reprinted. In particular the French edition of Taj Mahal in 1938.
Sir, salam, I would like to read all of these books on Lahore- where are they available?
Email us. Some there others not. Even copies will become issue. We will tell you what we can do.
Dear Sir
Recently when I visited the state museum at Hyderabad ( in assembly complex) I saw a number of paintings of AR Chugtai
If you belong to the TATA group why not create a collection of yours own?
Only few left. Many stolen or taken away. The Salar Jang museum collection is more intact. Enjoy what is left! All first rate originals. Few places besides us left with originals. One is the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco, the Ehrenfeld donation.
