A visited to the National museum (Kazi Nazrul Islam Ave, admission Tk-10, 9.30am-4pm Sat-Wed, 3-7pm Fri) is a good way of downloading information about Bangladesh. Sprawling over several floors it begins at the beginning with the geological formation of Bangladesh, whisks you through a rundown of the nation’s flora and fauna, saunters through a Buddhist and Hindu past, and rings you bang up to date with the War of Liberation and the creation of the modern state. Some of the exhibits are a little stale the stuffed birds with every passing year, and it’s amazing how badly lit, displayed and labelled everything is.
It’s good idea to avoid visiting on Friday when most of Dhaka will be here and you’ll be as much of an attraction as the ancient relics.
