Also worth a visit is the Institute of Sindhhology's museum at the
University of Sindh. It has displays on all aspects of Sindhi history, music
and culture depicting the lifestyles of the desert tribes. Infrequent buses
go to the campus, otherwise take a miniwagon to Jumshoro, across the river
from Hyderabad.The Battlefield at Miani is about ten kilometers (six miles)
north of Hyderabad and some five kilometers (three miles) off the National
Highway.The memorial is down a dusty narrow track in the forest and you'll
need a local guide to find it. Hyderabad's eighteenth-century fort was first
the court of the Kalhora dynasty and then that of the Talpur Amirs.
According to contemporary
British descriptions it must have been splendid, but apart from the tower,
main entrance, and a room in the harem, little remains to be seen. Portraits
of the Amirs and their weapons are exhibited in what passes as the Fort
Museum near the railway station. Their stove-pipe hats are on display in
Hyderabad's Sindh Provincial Museum, near the Polytechnic College and
opposite the Sui Southern Gas Office.you may also contact Archaeology
Department, Pacca Qilla for information about this magnificent fort.
