Dhaka University x Bangladesh National Museum || Dhaka Diaries
Hello people,
Here I am, back again with another day's experiences of exploring Dhaka, Bangladesh! Today's places were Dhaka University and Bangladesh National Museum and we can say that one is the epicentre of all the revolutionary movements in Bangladesh and the other one is a historical timeline to know Bangladeshi culture and history. Let's not make anymore delays and dive in to see how far I have explored.
Dhaka University
This is Dhaka University, in the middle of Dhaka city, heart of Bangladesh. All the revolutions in Bangladesh sparkled from here. Whether it be political or be it about education, you would see the finest brains here, one of the top educational institutes. These red buildings are called the Curzon Hall, one portion of the many. The building was named after Lord Curzon, the Viceroy of India who laid its foundation stone in 1904.

These places, one is TSC, another is Raju Memorial Sculpture, and the other is Centre Shaheed Minar. All three are in Dhaka University area. Whenever any revolution sparkles it starts from here, from the point of Raju Sculpture and TSC area and then to the Central Shaheed Minar. The recent revolution in Bangladesh also sparkled from these places, the bloody movement that put an end to the long ruled regime.
Bangladesh National Museum
Bangladesh National Museum, situated in Shahbag area, not very far from Dhaka University as well. This is a place where you can have a tour of the whole of Bangladesh. Like what Bangladesh is famous for, tourist places, special stuff, renowned things, in short, this is a short tour of the things that makes Bangladesh.

The above six images are made to portray the real lives of Bangladesh. You can see them coming alive like they are real. Showing the lives from different parts of the country having different lifestyles.
Exhibition Rooms
These are the exhibition rooms for each types of displays, there are more than 50 such rooms, you gotta walk a lot to cover them all, hahaha. In the third image you might be seeing school students. yeah, they are the most ideal audience for these places, so much to learn from altogether. saw their teachers briefing them in groups about different things and they were making notes as well.
Informational
There were many such sections for extra information on different exhibition rooms for better understanding of the stuffs.
Art Gallery

Art gallery, on the second and third room, on the second there were arts of Shilpacharya Zainul Abedin and on the third there were another gallery of the international painters.
Crafts Made from Elephant's Teeth

There were tons of arts and crafts section but this one was eye-catching. Things created from the teeth's of elephants. In ancient times, the rulers used to go with these unique stuffs that are scarce nowadays.
This room was filled with the timeline of historical events worldwide. Anyone reading it A to Z might need an hour, i had not enough time so I just saw some glimpse of them and read a few significant ones.
There were tons of things to capture and describe which might need thousands of pictures to add, there were way more to see, and learn from. Bangladesh is rich in culture and those history are well preserved in these places.
Way to Travel
Dhaka is famous for it's horrible traffic jams. 8.2 millions of working hours of working people are wasted every day in Dhaka, can you imagine? Metro system came as a blessing for those who has access in the metro areas. It saves countless times as well as comfortable. All the places covered today has a a metro station nearby. Look at the metro map, if one ks nearby then jump in to avoid a tiresome journey and save plenty of time.
So all I can say, it has an amazing experience visiting these places. A place to walk down the historical timeline, to revolutionary places and a short tour of the whole Bangladesh if not for real. See ya in the next one.
