Bangladesh Police Liberation War Museum

The Bangladesh Police Liberation War Museum is a memorial museum in the Rajarbagh Police Lines in Dhaka that displays artifacts from the 1971 independence war. The collection includes historical documents, equipment, and relics that document the events of that period.

The museum was founded in 2013 to honor police officers who died defending the Rajarbagh Police Lines against a Pakistani military attack in 1971. It documents a decisive moment in Bangladesh's struggle for independence.

The museum displays personal belongings of police officers who participated in the independence movement. Visitors can see radio broadcasts and telegrams that document communication during the conflict.

The museum is located in Rajarbagh and is easily accessible by public transportation or taxi. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes and check opening times in advance, as these may vary seasonally.

A dedicated research unit at the museum works continuously to identify and document the names of all police officers who died during the war. This effort ensures that individual sacrifices are preserved in the historical record.
