The original Victoria Memorial Hall - present day Peshawar Museum, which houses the largest collection of Gandhara Buddhist Art in the world - the new side galleries are recent additions and hence the side entrances (one seen in the photo) are no longer visible. The hall was designed by Sir (Samuel) Swinton Jacob (b. 14 Jan 1841; d. Weybridge, 4 Nov 1917) who was its engineer and architect. His engineering and design works included: Sandeman Memorial Hall, Quetta; Secretariat Offices, Simla; Victoria Memorial Hall, Peshawar; The Bank of Madras; Albert Hall, Jaipur; St. Stephen's College Delhi; and Lahore etc. The hall served as a darbar for social gatherings and official balls for the Europeans, though nobody has done the waltz or the foxtrot here in many years!

This is called Shahi Mehman Khana located on South Circular road next the Peshawar Museum and very close to the governor house n Cantt . Railway Station.It is used for official guests .
