National Museum

Established in 1913 A.D., the museum was shifted to a new four-storeyed building at Shahabagh in 1983. It has forty galleries featuring four departments: National History, History and Cultural Art, Ethnography and Decorative Art, and Contemporary art and Civilization. It has a rich collection of paintings, old coins, metal images, world famous embroidered quilts (Nakshi kantha) and much more. You can also find valuable articles of the heroic liberation war here.
