Liberation War Museum
মুক্তিযুদ্ধ জাদুঘর
A museum that uses photographs, relics and remains to tell the story of the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War and its massacres. The content is sobering and deeply moving.
The Liberation War Museum was founded by private citizens and moved into its new building in Agargaon in 2017. Several underground floors of galleries tell the story in chronological order, from the colonial era and the 1952 Language Movement to the 1971 Liberation War. The exhibits include photographs, weapons, victims' belongings and remains, as well as international expressions of solidarity. Much of the content concerns wartime atrocities and is not suitable for young children. Admission is about 100 taka, with a different price for foreigners. It is about 2 kilometers northwest of the Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban (National Parliament House) and can be visited together with it.
