Archaeological Museum Banbhore

The museum displays extensive collections of pottery, coins, and structural remnants excavated from the ancient settlement of Banbhore along the Indus River.

Established in 1960 and inaugurated in 1967, the museum preserves artifacts from civilizations dating back to the 1st century BCE through the 13th century CE.

The institution houses exhibits that document the transition from Scytho-Parthian and Buddhist periods to early Islamic influences in the Sindh region.
