Asma Ibrahim is a Pakistani archaeologist, museologist, and conservationist who is the founding director of the Museum, Archives and Art Gallery Department for the State Bank of Pakistan.

Asma was the recipient of a Fulbright scholarship for a post-doctorate degree in 'Ancient Human Remains' at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

[6] She became an editor for Far Eastern Publication in 1986 and authored two course books on Social Sciences and Ancient History for pupils of grade 4 and 5.

[4] Eventually, the Federal Public Service Commission announced an open position for curator or assistant director at the Department of Archaeology and Museums.

[5] In 2000,[8] when she was working as a curator in the National Museum, the Sindh Police contacted her about a smuggler who had acquired 3 mummies from Iran, and was planning to sell them at a profit.

The mummy was claimed to be of an ancient Persian princess, over 2,600 years old, that had been encased in a carved stone coffin and placed inside a wooden sarcophagus.

However, Asma had seen the CT scan which showed that typical methods of mummification had not been used, leading her to conclude that the mummy was fake.

[6] In 1989, she formed a non-governmental organization (NGO) with Kaleemullah Lashari[9] called The Sindh Exploration and Adventure Society, which does conservation work and documentation of heritage.

Under Asma’s leadership, the original plan of the museum was expanded to include an art gallery that features works by world-renowned artists from Pakistan.
