Bangladesh's War of Independence from Pakistan in 1971 was a deadly and haunting conflict. This museum takes visitors on a difficult but important recollection of the war and its tragedies, and though it can be quite graphic at times, it is essential to understanding the country as it is today.
Do & See
Dhaka offers a mix of people, cultures and religions, and the city's many temples and mosques could keep visitors occupied for days. Add to that the impressive monuments and historic buildings, palaces and forts, and a few fantastic museums, and there won't seem to be enough time to take it all in. And of course, don't miss the chance to take a ride down the Buriganga River for a glimpse at real Bangladeshi life.
