Aside from the museum and its desire to change and modernise, the vibrant but claustrophobic Lahore old city (including the famous Wazir Khan mosque) seems in urgent need of repairs. The Aga Khan Foundation is doing its best with dynamic skills and development schemes, its money coupled with great integrity. But the project risks being derailed by the vicissitudes of Pakistani politics. The Foundation’s imminent withdrawal could condemn this historic, but living site to another century of decay and collapse.
