Peshawar Museum, Archaeological museum in Peshawar, Pakistan
The Peshawar Museum occupies a two-story red brick building with spacious halls, side galleries, and four decorative cupolas at each corner.
Founded in 1907 as Victoria Hall, the museum began with a single exhibition space funded by local donations and archaeological authorities in British India.
The collection includes 14,000 items representing Gandhara, Greco-Buddhist, Kushan, Parthian, and Indo-Scythian influences through sculptures, manuscripts, and artifacts.
The museum contains four exhibition halls, with two on each floor, displaying Buddhist sculptures, terracotta figures, coins, and archaeological findings.
The Kanishka casket, discovered at Shah-Ji-Dheri in 1908, contained Buddha bone fragments and features inscriptions detailing its historical significance.
