Zainul Abedin Museum, Art museum in Mymensingh, Bangladesh

Zainul Abedin Museum displays oil paintings and personal belongings of the respected Bangladeshi artist in a dedicated space. The collection includes both finished artworks and everyday objects that tell the story of his life and artistic journey.

The museum opened on 15 April 1975 in a two-storey house on the Old Brahmaputra once owned by a Mr. Barden and later by a member of the Viceroy's Executive Council. It began with about 70 paintings, mostly oils. In 1982 seventeen works were stolen; ten were recovered in 1994. The National Museum took charge in 1999 and completed renovations in 2004.

Each December the gallery holds an anniversary programme with a discussion of Zainul Abedin's life and work and a painting competition. The museum keeps his brushes, palette, easel and spectacles in glass cases among the paintings, and an art school on the grounds follows his wish that artists keep working here.

The museum is accessible by rickshaw and auto-rickshaw from central locations like Maskanda bus terminal. It also has outdoor spaces, so visiting on a clear day allows you to enjoy both indoor galleries and the grounds.

The museum grounds hold a three-room Art Cottage where visiting artists can stay and work, plus an open-air stage used by students on study tours and rentable by others. An art school was set up here in line with Abedin's wishes.
