    Ram Bagh Museum

    This must-see museum is in the summer palace built by the Lion of Punjab, Maharaja Ranjit Singh (1780-1839). Under the great one-eyed leader, Punjab colonised much of present-day Kashmir and Pakistan. The weapons, paintings and manuscripts on display bring the man and this golden age of Punjabi history to life.
