The Museum of Independence in Dhaka, Bangladesh depicts the struggle for independence of Bangladesh. It shows the history of the nation since Mughal tenure to independence in 1971.

Sonargaon Folk Art and Craft Museum

Reviewed By dmittleman - Palm Beach Gardens, United States

This museum has an extensive and varied collection of crafts. As with most museums in Bangladesh, the exhibits could use some sprucing up. The lighting could be improved. The sign boards could provide more insight. But the vast array of objects makes this well worthwhile. Although the old mansion is not really furnished, it provides great insight into life at the time of it's occupation.
