The Pakistan Army Museum is next to the Army Library (behind the Pearl Continental Hotel). It houses a handful of well-kept galleries exhibiting a limited but interesting collection dating from prehistoric times. Items include rifles, swords (including some Turkish ones), Stone Age hand-axes, a former Russian missile system and, rather oddly, an Australian harpoon.
