Peshawar Museum is housed in a building with an original main hall formerly known as Victoria Hall, built in 1906-07 in her memory.
The museum was set up in 1907 to house the Gandharan sculptures excavated from the major Gandharan sites.
The building is a composition of the British and Mughal architectures, with extra stories and halls added later in the years after partition.
The main collection of Peshawar Museum includes Gandharan sculptures, coins, copies of the Holy Quran, weapons, Kalash Effigies, Mughal era and later period miniature paintings and local and Persian handicrafts to name a few.
