The Lahore Museum was founded in 1865 and moved in 1894 into its present red-brick building on Mall Road. It is the largest museum in Pakistan and holds collections that span the history of the region from prehistory to modern times. Its Islamic gallery displays manuscripts, calligraphy and metalwork, and there are galleries of Mughal and Pahari miniature paintings, coins and the Gandhara sculptures for which the museum is best known. The large Zamzama cannon stands outside. The museum is closed on Fridays.
