Bogyoke Market, British colonial market building in downtown Yangon, Myanmar.

The two-story market structure contains over 2000 shops within four wings, offering jewels, textiles, handicrafts, and traditional food stalls throughout its interior.

Originally named Scott Market after Municipal Commissioner C. Scott in 1926, the building received its current name in 1948 to honor General Aung San.

Local artisans present their traditional crafts, including intricate lacquerware, handwoven textiles, and precious stone jewelry, representing Myanmar's artistic traditions.

The market opens from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM every day except Mondays and public holidays, with currency exchange services available inside.

An annual pre-Thingyan festival in April sees local merchants distributing traditional foods like Monte Lone Yay Paw and Thargu to visitors.
