Chittagong University Museum, University museum at Hathazari Upazila, Bangladesh

The Chittagong University Museum occupies a two-storey building beside the university library, where it moved permanently on 10 August 1992 after five earlier relocations. Its first floor holds the Abdul Karim Sahitya Bisharad reference library, a conservation laboratory, an archive and a research centre; the second floor holds four galleries of selected objects, from a Tertiary fish fossil found in the Nasirabad hills to sculptures, coins and manuscripts.

The museum was founded in 1973 as a collection from the Department of History and began with a fossil fish find from the Nasirabad hills. Over time, the collection grew through excavations from various historical sites across the region.

The museum displays archaeological finds from across Bangladesh with ancient coins, manuscripts, and sculptures spanning different periods. The objects on show tell the story of trade networks and religious traditions that shaped the region over centuries.
