Taxila Museum in so far as all the material exhibited here have been excavated in the different sites of Taxila, except for a few stone sculptures in showcase number I, immediately left on entering the hall. These pieces were borrowed from other sites in order to present the complete story of Buddha's life, as the material from local excavations left some links missing. The museum was designed in the Greek style and galleries were set up by Sir John marshall , the diretor General of Archaeological Survey of (British) India .

In the six galleries of the museum the material has been presented subject wise. Original objects have been exhibited in the wall showcases and in the middle of the halls and in table showcases. The present museum building is only one-fourth of the original plan. The remaining parts are yet to be completed.

As we enter, we come to the main big hall, which shows in its middle a complete stupa from the Buddhist monastery of Mohra Moradu. To its left is an archaeological map of Taxila. On its right and left are table showcases exhibiting small finds. If we turn behind and look at the wall show cases we see schist stone sculptures on two sides. They present scenes from the life of the Buddha, other Buddhisattvas, and examples of Gandhara Art. Inone corner are red sand stone sculptures, and on the other wall are two sandstone sculptures, one of a Budhisattva and another of a Suri-god.
