Taxila Museum

Park your car, purchase entry ticket and you are good to go inside this Museum.

The museum is surrounded by beautiful trees. The peaceful ambiance added an extra layer of charm to the overall experience. The artifacts are restored and maintained about 30 KM away from actual location and stored here.

The museum itself was well-maintained and thoughtfully curated. The displays were informative and engaging, offering a glimpse into various aspects of history and culture particularly about Buddhism, ancient civilization, culture, household items of those living at that time.

Overall, I would highly recommend this museum to anyone seeking a unique and peaceful experience with both friends and family. If you are a history enthusiast, you must visit the place.

You have to visit if in taxila. It houses some of the best treasures of the Buddha from Gandharan and Kushan periods. The guides inside will jump on you and ask for a fee at the end so 300 - 500 rupees should be enough.

Was a good picnic point with history. Parks were well managed and green. Puple flower trees were elegant. Park activities for kids. But one thing i can't understand that on Saturday they have break from 1200 to 1430. Why ??? Rs 20 Ticket only. Vast Parking available.

It's good place to visit especially when you visit Khanur Dam with children. It's on main road and ticket is just 20 rupees per head. Parking fees is also just 20 rupees.

I happened to visit Taxila Museum in 1946 during our stay in Rawalpindi. It is really an eye opener and brings to light the life of our ancestors in those days. The tools, implements, coins, toys and statues of Buddha reveal the life of those days. Now I am 87 and live in Delhi but relish the life in Rawalpindi.

It's a good historical place . But break time is too long .9 to 4 pm open . And 12:00 to 2:30 break 💔

Best informative place family friendly environment free of cost guide l. No extra charges only 20 to 30 rupees ticket. Very clean and safe environment. Must visit.
