Tollinton Market is a historic colonial-era structure located on Mall Road, adjacent to Lahore Museum in Lahore

Constructed during the British Raj in 1864, the building has served multiple functions over the years, including its initial use for the Punjab Exhibition, its later role as the Lahore Museum

The structure was constructed to hold the Punjab Exhibition of 1864

Between 1864 and 1893, the building served as the Central Museum Lahore until In 1887, a decision was made to construct a more permanent museum building adjacent to the Mayo School of Arts.

The architecture of Tollinton Market exhibits characteristics drawn from both vernacular colonial bungalow styles and the Gothic Revival tradition

 At its core, it consists of a rectangular hall measuring approximately 220 feet by 70 feet, surrounded on four sides by a covered veranda.

The structure is a single-storey hall topped with a gable roof, featuring ventilators and dormer windows

Over time, the building deteriorated, and government plans were made for its demolition.  However, advocacy from architects, preservation groups, and the public prevented this outcome

Between 2002 and 2004, a comprehensive restoration effort was undertaken by the “Tajdeed-i-Lahore Committee,”

Today, the Tollinton Market building stands restored and is administered by the National College of Arts, Lahore. It serves as an exhibition hall and gallery.
