It was not that hard to find and will only take about half hour of your time unless you read everything, but it will help you understand how raw and fresh the 1971 independence is still in the minds of the people.

Really nice to start it off learning about their time leading to their Independence in 1971. Staff are really friendly too. There is a simple refreshment koisk at the back with a small shop you can buy books and little pins as mementos.

Interesting place to visit. Make sure your taxi drops you outside the actual museum as many drop you around the corner. Also, be aware that the museum closing at 3.30 during Eid. An interesting collection of stuff, also a thorougher description of the liberation war.

The museum is very rich in terms of collections. The location is good. It contains lots of liberation war related items. You can get a pure history of the war from here.The current place is a bit small to accommodate all the things.
