This museum in Dhaka documents the 1971 Liberation War through which Bangladesh gained independence from Pakistan. Its galleries display photographs, weapons, personal artefacts and harrowing evidence of the conflict and accompanying atrocities, arranged to guide visitors through the events chronologically. Housed in a purpose-built modern facility, it also serves as a research and education centre committed to preserving testimony from survivors.
