The Pakistan Museum for Natural History (PMNH), Islamabad, is set to educate the public about the country’s natural history with the construction of an “Outdoor Volcano Display.”
The project will be executed by the Earth Science Division of PMNH and will be located in the surrounding area of the Baluchitherium Model.
The Volcano Display aims to provide visitors with information about the process of volcanism on the oceans and continents. According to PMNH, most volcanoes have steep sides, but some can be gently sloping mountains or even flat tablelands, plateaus, or plains.
Director General of PMNH, Dr. Saima Huma Tanveer, emphasized the importance of volcanoes in natural history and the museum’s mandate to impart education to students and the public about the natural history of Pakistan.
She added that the Volcano Display will provide knowledge to students and the general public about volcano eruptions and help clear their concepts.
The newly constructed Volcano Display is expected to be inaugurated by the Chairman of the Pakistan Science Foundation in March.
The PMNH already attracts a large number of students from different schools, colleges, and universities and this newly built facility will be another source of attraction and learning for them.

Good for knowledge and updates
In door would’ve been better, ya
It will be prototyped or what will be effect in the natural open environment?
How much area will be occupied under this?
What will be the effects after this experiment
Misplaced priorities of directionless thinking. Is this the most wanted thing right now. We already are facing volcanic eruption of Inflation. Focus on some serious issues
What a shame. What they say in Punjabi “pulay nai tyla maai kuray myla myla”. What a bunch of directionless, selfish morons we are.
This is not the most wanted thing right now. We already are facing volcanic eruption of Inflation. Focus on some serious issues. We have no volcane problems in Pak
Don’t waste money on such irrelevant stuff
Good experiment.
Please Don’t waste the Money of such kind of projects..We need to strong our economy and get Rid from IMF first..
Kon log hain Ye, kahan se Aa jate hain Ye.
In my opinion, there are other better ideas, instead the idea of one science museum must be brought in action on the pattern of science museum Lahore, coupled with Artificial Intelligence ( AI ).
This volcano simulation idea wouldn’t serve as effective approach as could be of the museum. One art gallery at F-10 capital park wasn’t much needed as the one museum. This is wastage of time, space and money
