this place is so mesmerizing, soothing and healing. this place is highly recommended for those who have interest in political history. this place is amazing, beautiful as well as emotional. inside of museum photography is prohibited but i took risk to take some shots because this guy was damn smart. check the schedule of visitors hours before you go. DSLR camera is not allowed. you have to put your bag in locker room and collect the token. follow the instructions of there and keep it clean as well as your surroundings.

If you are ambitious to know the history then go to this Place.

Visited in April 2022. This museum is just beside the Radisson Hotel of CTG. It is all about late Ziaur Rahman and it is a wonder that it is still surviving. Hope it can be more improved as a museum.

Very well organized placed with calm ambience, let's you look into history as it was and ponder and then relax outside. Friendly staff all around.

I visited the Zia Memorial Museum as a history buff and I was impressed by the architectural and historical value of the building. The Zia Memorial Museum is housed in an old British Circuit House built in the style of a Tudor Mansion. It was formerly known as the Old Circuit House, a building that served as a residential and broadcasting center for the British Raj and the Pakistan Army during different periods of history. It is especially significant because it was the place where Ziaur Rahman, the seventh president of Bangladesh, was assassinated in 1981 by a group of army officers who wanted to overthrow him. Today, the museum showcases the history of Chittagong and Bangladesh, as well as the sacrifices and struggles of the people who fought for freedom and democracy. The museum has over seven hundred exhibits that cover various aspects of Bangladesh’s history, culture, and politics. I enjoyed learning about Ziaur Rahman’s life and achievements, as well as the role of Chittagong in the Bangladesh Liberation War. The museum is well kept and maintained, and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. I would recommend this museum to anyone who is interested in learning more about Bangladesh’s past and present.

The position of this museum is between Radisson blu and Shishu Park. Fromer president of Bangladesh Ziaur Rahman was killed here. The environment of this museum is very attractive. If you visit here, you can learn so many matters. To enter here, you have to pay 20 tk.

A beautiful place place with historical touch

If u want to see a glimpse of the past political history of Bangladesh this is a highly recommended place, but i saw closely and noticed that this place is not maintained properly for a long time. And the main building needs serious maintenance, but you must visit here at least once if u can.

One of historical place in Bangladesh history. Mejor Ziaur Rahman killed by army coup on 30th May 1981. Here some moments captured Mr. Ziaur Rahman life timeline. The place is still well decorated and well maintained. Stuffs are cooperative and well behaved.

It was a very beautiful place. Specially at the afternoon time it looks like a palace of Europe.....Really i had enjoyed the time......

The place is very very nice and has a good cultural demand. I loved the discipline over there very much

I had a great time here. Good place to visit with your friends, loved one or family

The Zia Museum is named after Shaheed Ziaur Rahman. The museum is beautiful, its interior and exterior are excellent. Inside the museum are various accessories used by Ziaur Rahman, pictures of Zia's family, sculptures of Ziaur Rahman, all the prizes earned during his lifetime, and more. Photography inside the museum is prohibited. The visitors are kept under surveillance. You can only take pictures from outside. It is a great place of our political history.

the national museum of Bangladesh. The museum is well organized and displays have been housed chronologically in several departments like department of ethnography and decorative art, department of history and classical art, department of natural history, and department of contemporary and world civilization. The museum also has a rich conservation laboratory. Nalini Kanta Bhattasali served as the first curator of the museum during 1914–1947. 

This place seems on the verge of ruin. A museum should be kept with sufficient care regardless of the political party in power. Major General Ziaur Rahman who was a freedom fighter, a controversial figure in 1975, Ex President & Army Chief of Bangladesh and a founder of a major political party of Bangladesh was killed brutally in a coup in 1978 at Chittagong Circuit house which later converted as a museum.

So much beautiful place❤️ I am saying my word from the neutral place.. Truly I don't know about this place or I didn't want to know.. Whatever I learn many things.. It is full of resources & there is also so many those will astonish you.. I don't reveal them.. And their stuff also awesome 10/10 😊 They share much about our liberation war & also their source.. You will understand if you see this..

In this museum, you can find the blood of President Ziaur Rahman in the wall of the building. Killing bullet had made hole in the floor of the building. A room is decorated samely when president got killed by the Army. Actually, if you would like to go through the life of Ziaur Rahman, you should visit the place. Normal ticket price is 20 taka.

This place has some history. Major ziaur rahman, an ex president of Bangladesh was assassinated in this place. There's a memorial here for this incidence. It is still active though. It is used as a government rest house called Chittagong circuit house. The place is really nice, naturally decorated and architecturally beautiful. Rooms are like any government guest house rooms. Enough good to stay.

That was probably my first visit to any museum and found it to be a good place to go with all family members.

The Zia Memorial Museum was built in memory of the former President of Bangladesh, Ziaur Rahman. It is one of the places associated with the history of Bangladesh. This building was originally built in 1913 during the British period. It was then used as Chittagong Circuit House. Ziaur Rahman was killed in this circuit house in a military coup on May 30, 1981. It was inaugurated as a museum on September 6, 1993. Many personal belongings used by Ziaur Rahman are kept here.

To go to the museum, one has to come from any part of the city to Kazi Deuri. Zia Memorial Museum is located here next to Radisson Blu.

👌

It was closed during Govt holiday- 25th December. Disappointed.

Zia

Amazing.

The memorial is set in the grounds of the home of former president Zia. It tells the whole story, from begining to sudden end. Certainly leaves an impression, especially the doorway to room 16 where the president met his end, complete with original blood splatter and bullet marks. This is where former leader Zia was gunned down. I learned a bit about the history and the post Liberation war politics. There is good English signage as well which is nice. Well kept and maintained. The entire memorial is curated in a beautiful house made of wood, where Zia Ur Rahman was assassinated. Beautiful during the day and the sun falls beautifully on the location. Much to start great conversations around. And you can take lovely photos.

Good for hangout

This place is so beautiful and so quite.😇 Loved this place.🖤

One can know about the history of Zia, the first dictator of Bangladesh

A really beautiful, well-maintained place of great historical importance. The staffs were really friendly, helpful & co-operative to me. Entry ticket price only 20taka. A great place to visit if you like museums; totally worth it.

An underrated place to visit... This place in incredibly well decorated and maintained. Through the entering to exit point, it reflects the complete work & personal life of Late President Ziaur Rahman. This Museum has a long history of being Chittagong armoury police and auxiliary force arsenal. It got attacked by Masterda Surya Sen on 18 April, 1930. Later it was named as Chittagong Circuit House. Right now, its called "Zia Memorial Museum" Taking photo is prohibited inside the museum. But you wont be disappointed once you set foot inside the museum. ❤️

A great place to visit & learn about some of the history of Bangladesh.This place is based on Ziaur Rehman,former president of Bangladesh.By visiting this museum you can learn about Ziaur Rehman and early history of Bangladesh.

There is a heritage park called Shaheed Zia Memorial Complex and Mini Bangladesh at Chandgaon which reflects the most notable structures and instances of Bangladesh. This 71-metre tower in Mini Bangladesh in Chittagong has a restaurant on the top that rotates once every 90 minutes.[citation needed] The museum includes a revolving restaurant.
