Museum of Independence, National independence museum in Suhrawardy Udyan, Dhaka, Bangladesh.

The Museum of Independence is an underground museum beneath the 50-meter Tower of Light in Suhrawardy Udyan, Dhaka. Its galleries hold over 300 historic photographs on 144 glass panels, terracotta pieces, newspaper clippings and a replica of the table where Lt. Gen. A. A. K. Niazi signed the 1971 surrender.

The museum was built on the site where the 1971 surrender took place and where the independence declaration was announced. This historic location was later transformed into a memorial to preserve these events for future generations.

The museum is a branch of the Bangladesh National Museum. Its galleries hold over 300 historic photographs mounted in 144 glass panels, terracotta work, paper clippings and copies of foreign newspaper reports on the 1971 war. A replica of the table where Lieutenant General Amir Abdullah Khan Niazi signed the surrender is displayed; the original is kept at the National Museum.

The grounds are walkable with multiple entry points from different sides of the park making it accessible from various directions. It is best to wear comfortable shoes and allow several hours to explore all the underground galleries at a relaxed pace.

The museum lies beneath the Tower of Light, a 50-metre structure of stacked glass panels that is the focal point of the complex. The surrounding master plan also includes Shikha Chirantony, an eternal flame symbolising the eternity of Bengali nationalism, and three water pools. The architects Kashef Mahboob Chowdhury and Marina Tabassum won the national design competition in 1997.
