The Swat museum is on the east side of the G.T road, halfway between Mingora and Saidu Sharif.
Japanese aid has given a facelift to its seven galleries which now contain an excellent collection of Gandhara sculptures taken from some of the Buddhist sites in Swat.
The galleries have been rearranged and labeled to illustrate the Buddha's life story.

Terracotta figurines and utensils, beads, precious stones, coins, weapons and various metal objects are present from ancient Gandhara.
The ethnographic section displays the finest examples of local embroidery, carved wood, and tribal jewelry.
It is also under renovation with funds from the Pakistani-Italian debt swap agreement.
