National Museum of Science and Technology

The National Museum of Science and Technology is an institution in Dhaka housing dedicated galleries across multiple scientific fields. Its collections focus on physics, life sciences, engineering, computing, and space studies to present a broad view of scientific knowledge.

The institution was established in 1965 and later became part of Bangladesh's national structure following independence in 1971. Its transition reflected the country's commitment to developing its own scientific institutions.

The museum has served as a symbol of scientific advancement and discovery for the nation, reflecting the importance placed on knowledge and research. It stands as a gathering place where people can explore ideas and see what their country contributes to science.

The site is accessible and provides parking for visitors who arrive by car. The grounds include a science park and a sky observation area alongside the main building, giving you room to explore and spend time outdoors.

The museum operates an observatory for stargazing and regularly publishes material highlighting the work of scientists and inventors from the country. This makes it not just a display space but also an active hub for promoting scientific discovery.
