Lahore Museum is the oldest museum in Pakistan, on Mall Road in Lahore, Punjab. It was designed by Bhai Ram Singh, an artisan-trained graduate of the Mayo School of Arts, and completed in 1893. Its collection reaches from fourth century BC coins through Gandhara Buddhist sculpture and Mughal manuscripts to the Pakistan Movement, making it the principal repository for the region's material history.
