Javed Manzil, Lahore has been personal residence of Dr Allama Muhammad Iqbal, Shair e Mashriq and Mufaqir e Pakistan, named after his son, Javed Iqbal. Allama Iqbal lived here for 3 years and also died in this building. He bought this 7 kanal area for about 24 thousands British Indian Rupees in 1934. Residence construction completed in 1935 in European style around 42000 rupees. Quaid e Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah visited this place to meet Allama Iqbal in 1936. In this very place both Legends came to common agreement about Pakistan. Allama Iqbal wrote many letters about Pakistan to Quaid e Azam in his residence.
Government of Pakistan declared this place a National Monument and bought it from his son in 3.5 million rupees. Government converted it into Allama Iqbal Museum which was renovated and inaugurated by then president Muhammad Zia ul Haq in 1984. His son, Javed Iqbal donated around 600 objects of his father's personal belongings to this museum free of cost. This museum has a library and 9 galleries which cover historical period of 1877 to 1938.
I once read in Javed Chaudhary's column in which he after visiting Shakespeare's house museum complained about preserving our Heroes memories but after visiting this place I reckon Government has not ignored some of our Legends.
