Mardan Museum, Archaeological museum in Mardan District, Pakistan.
Mardan Museum is a repository of artifacts from ancient times and the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa regions. It houses Buddhist sculptures, ethnological objects, and Islamic manuscripts displayed across multiple exhibition spaces.
The museum was established in 1991 and originally operated within the Town Hall building. A major expansion later added new exhibition spaces to accommodate the growing collection.
The galleries display Buddhist sculptures that show scenes from Buddha's life and traditional stories carved in stone. Visitors can observe how ancient artisans conveyed their spiritual narratives through sculptural forms.
The museum sits near the town center and is accessible on foot from most areas. Visitors should allow time to explore each exhibition section comfortably at their own pace.
The collection contains hundreds of objects carved from green and gray stone that showcase the artistic skill of an ancient civilization. These particular stones were favored for their durability and appearance.
