    A museum is an important type in the palette of public buildings. Most famous and iconic museums are mainly dedicated to house art works, or historical and cultural artifacts. Aside from the sheltering of the artifacts, museums often are landmarks, which contribute to the identity of a place. While the Automobile museum is built to exhibit and protect the vehicles involved in any historical event, political identity, icon of the industry, economy showcase etc. Auto industry is referred to as “industry of industries” in the developed world. Pakistan is among the select few group of 40 countries who manufacture automobiles. The auto industry of many regional countries has played a pivotal role in transforming those countries into economic tigers. Unfortunately the pace of this happening in Pakistan has been very slow. This study is focused to boost the interest of the people toward the automobile industry through the educational automobile museum. In Islamic state of Pakistan almost every type of museum is present Arts and Craft museum, National Heritage museum, Archaeological and Historical museum, Biographical museum, Judicial museum, Military museum, Money museum, Science and Technology museum and Transport museum (railway), but not Automobile museum. Even there is no such activity in by parts which educates the people about the automobile. There is no such structure in Pakistan which displays the Automobile History, Automobile Technology, Automobile Library, properly designed Automobile Expo, Automobile launch events and a research center for Mechanical advancements in the automobile technology to educate people about the car tech and repair. V This study proposed an Automobile museum in Pakistan to secure, restore, protect and exhibit the cars involved in above mentioned events under one roof, for public exhibition as well as tourism attraction. The museum will be run in the collaboration of all the automobile manufacturers of Pakistan, thus there is no ticketing for museum. The Museum is divided into two parts, one for the historical evolution of the automobile and the other for the political identity or icon of the country.
