Partition Museum

Housed in a restored colonial-era building near Town Hall, this museum tells 1947 through the people who lived it — a suitcase, a recipe, a recorded voice. It is one of the most affecting hours you can spend in Amritsar.

Why visit

• It is built largely from donated objects and recorded testimony rather than official history.
• The building itself is a good example of the old city's colonial-era civic architecture.
