About Lahore Museum

Located in Lahore, Pakistan, the Lahore Museum was founded in the year 1865 during the time that the British had made it a colony. The fascinating thing about this museum is that Rudyard Kipling's father used to be a curator here. It was also in his book, Kim, that the museum, along with the Zamzama Gun located directly in front of the building became extremely famous and super popular among tourists from all around the globe. The museum is now popular for its vast collection of beautiful and unique Buddhist art that have been curated from the ancient Indo-Greek and Gandhara kingdoms. The building of the Lahore Museum is an absolute architectural masterpiece. Apart from this, the museum happens to be an amazing source of information about the history of Pakistan. It is one of the most frequently visited monuments in the country and attracts tourists and locals alike. From artifacts that will leave you feeling awestruck to maps and memoirs, the museum is home to many beautiful displays that one can feast their eyes on.
