My inspiration

Where do museums in Pakistan fit within the larger political upheavals that the country has experienced?
It was the view of 'Henry' that made it apparent to me the lack of wonder and curiosity that I had experienced in museums in Pakistan. I was an adult when I had that first 'aha' moment in a museum, and the sense of loss and sadness at this deprivation in my own home country prompted me to start looking at museums with a critical view. What is it that museums in Pakistan are trying to achieve? How are they engaging with communities at large and what are the ways in which we can make them become truly inclusive?
