Islamabad art, display history museum near completion: CDA chairman

Islamabad : The Islamabad art and display history museum, being restored at F-9 Park would be open to public soon, said Capital Development Authority (CDA) chairman Aamir Ali Ahmed on Sunday.

The museum would have a gallery, showing detailed images of how Islamabad emerged as a city, he told this agency.
