    Quick Intro: Frere Hall was built in 18th century in honour of Sir Henry Bartle Edward Frere.

    Review:

    After nine years of forbiddance Frere Hall is now open for general public (May 2011). Timings for hall visitors are 10am to 4pm. Beautiful lush green Surroundings of Frere Hall are know as Bagh e Jinnah / Jinnah Garden.

    The architecture of Frere Hall was built in the Gothic style as it was constructed during the British Raj over subcontinent in 18th century. The interior of Frere Hall is dominated by wood work: wooden floors, wooden stairs and even elegant wood work on roof. Frere Hall is also known as The great Sadequain art Gallery,

    I went there for first time and my mission is to take photographs of this amazing architecture. Luckily for me it was a weekday so there wasn't much visitors to spoil my shots and as this place is just resumed for general public at the start of May 2011 after nine years, still there are quite a few people aware about in the city,

    It wouldn't be wrong if i compare the size of Sadequain Art Gallery with a tennis court: this is just a rough guess of mine. Sadequain Art Gallery is filled with some mind blowing to heart touching handmade paintings it is hard to tell you through words you got to come over for once at least, the extent of art is at its best here, absolute cream collection. If somehow you are in Karachi or planning a trip, this is one of the places you got to hit.
