Bangladesh Military Museum

Bangladesh Military Museum, Military museum near Novo Theatre, Dhaka, Bangladesh

The Bangladesh Military Museum is a military museum in Dhaka that documents the history and development of the nation's armed forces. The grounds feature distinct sections for army, navy, and air force, each displaying equipment and documents related to their respective branches.

The Bangladesh Military Museum was established in 1987 as the Bangladesh Military Museum and was permanently moved to its present site on Bijoy Sarani in 1999. In 2009 a modernisation effort began, and a 2010 committee representing all three armed forces recommended upgrading it and naming it after Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman; a 276 crore taka project followed in 2016. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina inaugurated it as the Bangabandhu Military Museum in 2022, and after the Awami League government fell in August 2024 it reverted to its earlier name.

The museum's name changed twice: inaugurated in 2022 as Bangabandhu Military Museum, it reverted to Bangladesh Military Museum after August 2024. Each force gallery holds a Bangabandhu corner, and the separate Toshakhana Jadughor in the complex displays gifts and awards received by the country's important personnel, arranged around a grand central sculpture in a corkscrew pattern.

The museum is located near Novo Theatre and is partially accessible via pathways for wheelchair users. Most visitors typically spend two to three hours to explore all galleries comfortably.

A 3D art gallery presents optical illusions and murals from recent years that have become popular with visitors for photography. A Toshshana Museum within the complex displays gifts received by heads of state from foreign governments during official visits.
