Amritsar's Town Hall now houses the Partition Museum
So here is a closer look at the erstwhile Amritsar Town Hall- it was closed at the time. The building now houses the Partition Museum, a fascinating collection of records and documents pertaining to the partition of India into India and Pakistan back in 1947. More on that later in this album.The Amritsar Town Hall was completed in 1870 and the building of the Government School in its neighbourhood was completed in 1873. Other historic buildings in the area, but outside the walled city are the Railway Station, constructed in 1859, and the District Courts and the Treasury in 1876.
