Any museum visit is similar to reading a history book. These locations not only preserve the past but also offer crucial information for securing our future. The history of Pakistan is largely concerned with victories in conflicts that were fought to protect our country's sovereignty. As a result, the nation's major cities are home to numerous military museums. This is best illustrated by the Army Museum in Lahore. Its many wings and sections take you through the bloody battles that Pakistan's army's brave soldiers fought in. It is time to make you explore the Army Museum in Lahore virtually if you have never been to the city's top museum. Things to see:

Helicopters and tanks are used to lay the foundation. The Indian Armed Forces are the owners of the four underground tanks. In 1965, the brave soldiers of Pakistan's Armed Forces captured three of these tanks in Chawinda, close to Sialkot. The fourth tank was taken during the conflict in 1971. The marble slabs also have a brief history of these tanks carved into them. As you approach the structure, you will see slabs of black marble with the names of martyrs and the names of the provinces they are from engraved on them. The fact that these slabs include Shuhada's names from the period of independence until 2016 is the most amazing part. There are lots of slabs that are blank on the inside. The names of the martyrs will occasionally be added to these slabs. The structure of the Pakistani Armed Forces and its primary wings may be found further below. You will see the busts, or sculptured objects, of the generals of the Pakistani Army from 1947 to the present. Two British generals, Sir Douglas David Gracy and Sir Frank Messervy, who led the Pakistan Army from 1947 to 1951, are busts among the many sculpted figures of the generals of the Pakistan Army. Life-size statues of war horses and elephants in motion transport you to the era when these animals were employed by the military force. The Constituent Assembly of Pakistan in August 1947 is depicted in the section Rebirth of a Nation, where a grand sculpture of Quaid-e-Azam, the country's founder, is seen giving a speech and Lord Mountbatten presiding over the proceedings. The Army Museum in Lahore features a compelling exhibit on the fight against terror. Pictures of the successful operation against terrorists are displayed in a lengthy gallery. The soldiers who died in the December 2014 massacre at the Army Public School in Peshawar have been honored. On the wall are pictures of the schoolchildren and instructors who resisted the terrorists. The Nishan-e-Haider awardees are placed in a gallery in honor of the valiant men who drove back the enemy.
