CDA Allots 8.33 Acres for Islamabad’s Museum at Shakarparian, marking a major step in heritage development in Islamabad. The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has officially allocated 8.33 acres of land to the Department of Archaeology and Museums. This move aims to establish a national-level museum project that highlights Pakistan’s cultural heritage and traditional heritage. The Islamabad Museum will serve as a hub for education, tourism, and cultural preservation.
The land allotment was discussed during a meeting of the National Assembly Standing Committee on National Heritage and Culture. Chaired by MNA Syeda Nosheen Iftikhar, the committee emphasized timely financial support from the Ministry of Planning, Development, and Special Initiatives. They recommended including museum construction funding in the Federal Budget 2026–27 to ensure smooth project implementation. This will help the Department of Archaeology and Museums complete the Islamabad Museum on schedule.
Shakarparian Islamabad offers an ideal location for the museum due to its accessibility and scenic surroundings. The project will include exhibits on folk and traditional heritage, and collaborations with the National Institute of Folk and Traditional Heritage (Lok Virsa) are expected. By showcasing cultural artifacts, the museum will attract both local and international visitors, boosting tourism and public engagement.
The Islamabad Museum is part of broader efforts to preserve Pakistan’s cultural heritage and promote heritage development in Islamabad. With proper funding and support, this national museum will become a landmark for education and cultural tourism. CDA’s 8.33 acres land allotment ensures a solid foundation for this prestigious project. Citizens can look forward to a museum that not only preserves history but also inspires future generations.
