The Laar Museum and Molvi Haji Ahmed Mallah Library is a historic building located on the main Karachi road opposite the deputy commissioner's office in Badin, Sindh, Pakistan.
[1][4][5] The museum received financial support from former Prime Minister Muhammad Khan Junejo, who donated Rs 0.5 million, and former Governor of Sindh Kamaluddin Azfar, who contributed Rs 1 million to support Shaikh Soomar's preservation efforts.
[1] The museum once housed a diverse collection of artifacts significant to Sindh's cultural heritage, including pottery from the Indus Valley Civilization, hand-written Quranic manuscripts in Persian, Arabic, and Sindhi, and historical photographs of various locations.
[1] However, the collection was compromised when the museum space was used to store relief goods during a flood, resulting in the displacement and damage of many items.
