One of the oldest museums on the subcontinent, Lahore Museum holds a wide-ranging collection that spans Gandhara Buddhist sculpture, Mughal miniature paintings, and artefacts from the region's colonial period. Its galleries move roughly chronologically, so a walk through the building doubles as a walk through layers of Punjab's history. The building itself, with its colonial-era architecture, is worth noting alongside what's inside it. For anyone trying to piece together how Lahore's various eras fit together, this is usually the first stop.
