Fakir Khana Museum
فقیر خانہ میوزیم
A family-run private museum inside Bhati Gate, where the Fakir family’s collection of miniature paintings, manuscripts, and Sikh-era court artifacts is a delight to discover.
Fakir Khana is one of the largest private museums in South Asia. The Fakir family has served as court ministers since the time of Ranjit Singh, and their ancestral home displays tens of thousands of items collected over generations, including Mughal and Sikh miniature paintings, handwritten Qur’ans, ivory carvings, carpets, and gifts received from Ranjit Singh. Tours are usually led personally by family members, and advance booking is required. Admission is typically paid as a donation. Located inside Bhati Gate in the Old City, it can be combined with a visit to Data Darbar and the Bhati Gate street food area.
