Aiwan-e-Nawadrat-e-Quaid-i-Azam (ANQA), also known as Aiwan-e-Nawadrat Museum is situated within the boundaries of Mazar-e-Quaid in Karachi, Pakistan. This museum holds a remarkable collection of historical items and showcases objects connected to the nation's founder, Muhammad Ali Jinnah.
History
In the year 1985, Shireen Bai, also known as Shireen Jinnah and the sister of the Quaid, graciously donated to Aiwan-e-Nawadrat a set of cherished heirlooms that held a deep connection to the life of the Father of the Nation. This assortment was subsequently handed over to the caretakers of Mazar-e-Quaid, serving as a powerful representation of an ongoing dedication to safeguarding our heritage.
Collection
The museum showcases a diverse array of items, encompassing manuscripts of the Holy Quran, Picard and Cadillac automobiles, elegant clothing worn by royalty, and grand furnishings. Even the seemingly modest pens and inkpots have endured the passage of time without losing their initial charm.
Future Developments
In 2021 President Dr. Arif Alvi has emphasized the importance of making information about valuable historical artifacts available through digital means, alongside ensuring proper illumination of display cases at ANQA. This effort aims to engage researchers and individuals passionate about history.
