10 Museums in Dhaka City That You Shouldn't Miss

November 9, 2021 Osvaldo Hartline

Densely populated and humming with activity at all hours, Dhaka is a city of contrasts between old and new, rich and poor, industry and folk. From the concrete National Parliament House and ultramodern Bashundhara City, the largest shopping mall in South Asia, to the 17th Century Lalbagh Fort and the open markets along the city's side streets, these contrasts vividly shape the city. Visit the many mosques, temples and museums for a taste of Bengali culture and history.

Liberation War Museum

Reviewed By dmittleman - Palm Beach Gardens, United States

This museum is a monument to Bangladeshi independence and the war fought with Pakistan for freedom. The exterior is under major renovation and you have to slog through mud to get to it. But by all means get there. There are enough English explanatory boards so that you can truly understand the atrocities. The displays, photos, and videos are harrowing but provide true insight into the Bangladeshi struggles for nationhood.
