Peshawar Museum holds one of the finest collections of Gandhara-era Buddhist sculpture in the region, alongside Mughal miniatures and artefacts from the colonial period. The Gandhara collection is the standout, tracing a period when Buddhist art in this part of the world absorbed Greek and Central Asian influences into a distinct regional style. For anyone interested in the deeper layers of the region's history before the arrival of Islam, this museum is the essential stop in Peshawar.
