About This Museum

People come to the Mehrgarh Museum not just to escape the Quetta heat, but to take a mind-bending journey back to one of the world's very first farming villages. You're immediately struck by the sheer age of everything; it’s humbling to stand before a 9,000-year-old ceramic vase, its simple patterns a direct message from a Neolithic artist. The displays of early dental work—yes, you read that right, ancient dentistry—using flint tools will make you wince and marvel in equal measure. It completely reshapes your understanding of human ingenuity.

Collection Highlights

The star of the show is undoubtedly the evidence of early dentistry on human teeth, alongside beautifully preserved terracotta figurines and some of the subcontinent's first known agricultural tools.

Visitor Information

Architecture & Building

Housed in a modest, functional building that feels more like a local secret than a grand institution, which somehow makes the treasures inside feel even more immediate and real.
