Munshi Aziz Bhat Museum of Central Asian And Kargil Trade Artefacts
147, Munshi Enclave, Lankore, Kargil, Ladakh, India - 194103 Phone: 01985 233444, 941928927 www.kargilmuseum.orgAbout
The museum's collection consists primarily of artifacts unearthed at the rest house built by Munshi Aziz Bhat, as also donations by townsfolk and heirs of erstwhile merchants and royalty. Even though the number of artifacts in the museum's possession has grown steadily over the past eight years, it currently houses over 3500 artifacts including a range of mercantile items associated with trade along the Silk Route, only 1000 are on display due to lack of space. The museum has emerged as a valuable knowledge bank for historical research and several researchers from Kashmir University, Jammu University as well as the Berlin University have availed its resources.
