In July 1948, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, founder of Pakistan, laid the foundation for the State Bank of Pakistan.[1]
On 21 May 1892, it was converted into a full museum and named Victoria Museum.[2] It had stuffed animals, artefacts from the Mohenjo-daro, statues of people of Hind and abroad, portraits, paintings, and pictures of famous people from around the world.[2]
