This museum located in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The Bangabandhu Memorial Museum is also known as the Father of The Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Memorial Museum.

Known as ‘Baghbari’ ("tiger house"), this house is located in the dense urban fabric of old Dhaka. The famous Sat Rawja mosque is on the south, while on the east side is the busy Abul Hasnat Road with its shops and restaurants. Built around the 1920s, the house is also called ‘Haturia House’ named after the zamindari area in southern Bangladesh where the family had an estate. The owner and builder of the house was a member of the then Indian Civil Service, and a prominent member of the old Dhaka elite. The property was designated as a waqf estate with the grandson of the original owner as “muttawali”. The house with its compound and the original owning family with a rich history retains much of the flavor of old Dhaka as it was about hundred years ago.

In a sparsely populated Dhaka of the 1960s, this one storied residence in Dhanmondi was built to provide an enhanced quality of life to its residents. Built as a bungalow-type house facing a green lawn and a spacious porch on the south, it was evidently designed to let the occupants connect the indoors with the outdoors, through the lawn, surrounding greenery and ambient environment. The house remains as a rare example of a bungalow type house from the past while the surrounding landscape has transformed immensely due to construction of multistoried apartments.

The house is expressive of a modern language adapted to the tropical climate and requirements of Dhaka. Typical of houses for the upper middle class who were serving a new government in the 1950s and have started to live in newer parts of Dhaka, the house represents the beginning of a new residential type and lifestyle. Today, the building is a quiet hidden residence in the midst of overwhelming high rise buildings. The Rajshahi House is distinctive for its openness and connection to the surrounding landscape. Designed by Arjun Roy, an architect from Calcutta, the house was built in 1957 for the family of Murtaza Reza Chowdhury, a well-known political personality who was a member of the Bengal and Pakistan Assembly and state minister in the central government of Pakistan.

Kabir House is one of the few private properties built in the early 1950’s, amidst the government housing and staff quarters on Eskaton Road. Placed in between a large lawn on the south and a orchard in the north, the asymmetrical looking house was designed to accommodate a large family on two floors with spacious verandahs and common spaces. After the 1960s, the house was developed to accommodate a growing family. Remained unused for years, the appeal surrounding the house is withering, just like the house itself. And yet, Kabir House still remains as a place that is enriched by the past memories of its inhabitants.
