Fakir Khana, Private museum in Walled City, Pakistan
The Fakir Khana Museum occupies a historic mansion in Lahore, containing more than 20,000 artifacts spread across multiple exhibition rooms and halls.
The building was initially owned by Raja Todar Mal, Mughal Emperor Akbar's finance minister, before the Fakir family established their residence there in 1730.
The museum exhibits a collection of 180 miniature paintings from different schools, including Mughal, Kangra, Rajput, and Pahari artistic traditions.
Visitors can access the museum through a five-minute walk from Bhati Gate, with guided tours available to explore the extensive collection of manuscripts and artifacts.
The collection includes a remarkable portrait of Nawab Mumtaz Ali, which took 15 years to complete using a single hair as a painting brush.
