An online visit to SikhMuseum.com
Very often, when looking for interesting content about Sikhi on the Internet, I discover something by accident. Something that is too wonderful and intriguing to ignore. Today was one of those days. I discovered the web site of The Sikh Museum.
At the museum you can find remarkable information from Sikh history, and a rich collection of historical photographs organized as online museum exhibits.
You can visit these exhibits, and see all the historical photos, by following the links below.
Dr. Brighton's Pavilion
During World War I a former Royal Palace in England was converted into a hospital for soldiers of the British Indian Army. This is the story of wounded turbaned warriors from the battlefields of France sent to the hospitals of Brighton.

Operation Blue Star:
A two-part exhibit consisting of a detailed chronology of events and a major photographic archive
In early June 1984 the Indian Army invaded one of the most historic of all Sikh Gurdwaras, the Darbar Sahib complex at Amritsar Punjab to flush out Sant Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale a Sikh leader and his followers who had made the Gurdwara complex their refuge. The ensuing destruction and loss of life marked one of the darkest chapters of the later 20th century for Sikhs.

A majestic palace unlike any other once glimmered in the waters of the sacred pool of nectar at Amritsar. Learn about what was once one of the largest and most magnificent structures of its kind at the Darbar Sahib complex. Follow the history of the lost palace and the space it occupied from its origins in the Sikh Empire, to British Rule and eventually modern times.
