Museums

I’ve compiled here as much information as I could, from sources online and otherwise, on Museums of Pakistan. The information available generally is not only sparse but also incomplete. Here’s a compiled list of most of the museums, province wise, and I’ve also tried to add links of their websites or other pages, for those who need more info on them.
