UNB, Dhaka :
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Thursday opened a world-class architecture, ‘Bangabandhu Military Museum’, in the capital to exhibit the country’s military history, heritage and success, particularly its incredible valour and bravery throughout the Liberation War.
The Prime Minister virtually inaugurated the eye-catching museum from her official Ganobhaban residence here.
The Bangabandhu Military Museum was built on a 10-acre land adjacent to Bangabandhu Novo Theater (Planetarium) in the city’s Bijay Sarani area having a collection of military hardware, weapons and equipment.
The museum has six separate parts, including designated galleries for Bangladesh Army, Bangladesh Navy and Bangladesh Air Force.
To exhibit the glorious history of the Bangladeshi military forces, Bangladesh Military Museum was established in 1987 in Mirpur Cantonment, which was later shifted to the present location at Bijoy Sarani in 1992.
The military museum was modernised under Bangabandhu Military Museum Project to showcase the glorious past, challenges, achievements, and key success of the Bangladesh Army, Navy and Air Force.
Chief of Army Staff General SM Shafiuddin Ahmed, Chief of Naval Staff Admiral M Shaheen Iqbal, Chief of Air Staff Air Chief Marshal Shaikh Abdul Hannan, and Defence Senior Secretary Abu Hena Mostafa Kamal spoke on the occasion from the museum site.
