[edit] Hyderabad Mukhi House
AS reported in your paper, ‘Call to declare Mukhi House art museum’ (Dec 5), the faculty of Art and Design Institute, Sindh University, Jamshoro, has done excellent work by preparing projects on various buildings of historical importance located in Hyderabad. The Mukhi House is one such building with an excellent architectural design, which is ideally located at Homestead Hall incline.
This building was constructed by a wealthy Hindu businessman in the early 20th century when Hyderabad, because of its gardens/parks, planned construction, cleanliness and evening breeze, was regarded as the Paris of Sindh.
The students, who prepared a documentary of the project, while briefing Vice - Chancellor Mazharul Haq Siddiqui, insisted that in view of the significance, architectural distinctiveness and beauty, the edifice of Mukhi House should be converted into a museum.
For a historical city such as Hyderabad, which now stands starved of its aesthetic magnificence, transformation of Mukhi House into a museum will be a unique occasion.
I request the Sindh government to consider the plea of the Institute of Arts and Design, Sindh University, and declare Mukhi House as monument of national heritage.
