Bangladesh Air Force Museum, Military aviation museum in Sher-e-Bangla Nagar, Bangladesh
The Bangladesh Air Force Museum holds retired aircraft, military equipment, and memorabilia spanning the service's history across four galleries. Each section focuses on a different aspect, from early operations to peacekeeping roles and decorated personnel.
The institution was established in 1987 at a military airbase before moving to its public location. It opened to visitors in 2014 after being relocated to the current site.
The museum documents how air operations shaped the nation's fight for independence through displayed photographs and equipment from that era. Walking through these sections shows the connection between military aviation and the country's defining moment.
The museum is located in Dhaka and opens on most days, with extended hours on weekends for visitors to explore at their pace. Plan for a couple of hours to walk through the galleries and read the descriptions comfortably.
The museum displays military medals and decorations alongside information about peacekeeping operations that personnel have participated in around the world. These sections, often overlooked, reveal the broader international role of the service beyond national defense.
