Zoo Museum

The Zoo Museum is located within the National Zoo complex in Mirpur and displays animal skeletons, preserved specimens, and scientific materials. The collection documents the diversity of native animal species through scientific exhibits and research materials.

The museum was founded in 1974 alongside Bangladesh National Zoo to support educational efforts in wildlife conservation. Its collection grew over the decades through research projects and preservation work at the zoo.

The museum displays preserved animal specimens and skeletal remains that help visitors understand the diversity of native fauna found across the country. The exhibits are labeled and arranged to let people learn about different species and their characteristics directly.

The museum is located within the zoo grounds and accessible after the main zoo entrance, with a small additional fee required. Visitors should allow time to read the exhibit labels and explore the displays at a comfortable pace.

The museum preserves rare skeletons of animals that have become extinct or extremely rare in Bangladesh. This collection allows visitors to see species they would likely never encounter in the wild today.
