Pakistan Museum of Natural
History (PMNH) is a subsidiary of Ministry of Science and Technology and is known
for its collection of specimens found or excavated from around the country.
Although it is a small museum but its collection is unique; it has fossils that
can reveal millions of years of natural history.
The museum is the first in the
country to install audio commentary equipment, for the benefit of visitors and especially
for researchers and students. The equipment is a gift from UNESCO and is
intended to help the museum to develop its online services for its subscribers
etc. New tools will facilitate the visitors to hear technical and historical
information about items without having to wait for a guide. The audio facility
would be linked to the museum’s website, so anyone in the world can listen to
this information, just by clicking an icon. This small contribution will make
the museum more scientific and dynamic.
Similarly, other museums in country can also
adopt this technology for the benefit of their visitors.
