Found in the immediate outskirts of Islamabad, the Golra Sharif Railway Museum is a heritage site attached to an active railway station by the same name. The Golra Railway Museum’s existence alone should have raked in culture-starved Islooites when it first opened in 2003, but there are a couple problems that the Golra Museum needs to address if the site is to go BIG like other culture-hotspots in the capital.

 

1. To begin with, the place is such a drag. 

Especially the name.

Like, they’re not pretty at all, are they?

You’ll need to see some beautiful Pindi boys on the metro bus or Centauraus to get the horrible images of the Golra Sharif Railway Museum out of your mind.
