Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah performed the groundbreaking of the Karachi Museum of History at Beach View Park, declaring that “Karachi is not merely a metropolitan city, it is a living story of migration, coexistence, resilience, trade, literature, art, and progress.”

Sindh CM @MuradAliShahPPP said that, unfortunately, many important chapters of the collective history remain undocumented or inaccessible to younger generations. “This museum will play a vital role in bridging that gap.”

CM Sindh today laid the foundation of Karachi Museum of History at Beach View Park. The museum spread over an area of 3 acres will enable us to present the history of our city, province and country to our future generations. We have so much to showcase from history to culture or any other field. It is a public private partnership between Sindh Govt, KMC and Citizens Archive Pakistan

As Pakistan approaches 80 years of independence, the Karachi Museum of History will stand as a permanent civic space for storytelling, reflection, and collective memory, honouring the communities that built this city and this nation.
