Our cultural heritage. Any kind of cultural activities start from here. Very nice place.

Located right opposite to anti corruption commission. A very nice place. But multiple entrances made it a bit confusing for me.

Amazing place to enjoy artwork. There are 6 photo galleries including Bangabandhu gallery which is mesmerizing. Highly recommended.

This is a Shilpakala academy Pitha an ideal spot for an imaginative mind. Try to visit during an ongoing exhibition. It celebrates our culture and heritage, something every generation should experience. Moreover, attending exhibitions won't require anything except your time.

If you are an enthusiast of Art and Culture, this place is for you. The Auditoriums are spacious and cozy. Great sound system. I had a great time there. Must visit place.

It's the biggest cultural academy of this country. It's a government controlled institution. A big green premises with attractive internal view.

I love this place. I try to attend or visit most of the programmes in this Institute. It's creating a flow of art culture for all people through the development of national culture and art, preservation and expansion of cultural heritage. You can visit here for free. The security facility is very good. All the facilities you will get here including the washroom, parking, wheel chair accessibility etc.

Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy is the national academy of fine and performing arts. The academy was established through an act of Parliament in 1974 as a statutory organization. In January 2024 they have organised a photography exhibition where my 2 photos exhibited.

It is very beautiful place for being entertainments. it is the heart point of our Bengali cultural heritage. if anyone want to enjoy theatre, drama, song and some others cultural activists, it will be the best place.

It's a breathtakingly gorgeous setting where one may unwind and have fun. If that makes sense, we may think of it as the hub of our cultural heritage as Bengalis. The best possible environment is provided here for attendees of musical performances, dramatic readings, theatrical plays, and other cultural events. It is a particularly ideal location for musicians, actors, and other creative types because it has art galleries, musician's quarters, make-up facilities, studios, and a large theater on the grounds. It may be found just across from the Anti-Corruption Commission. It's an incredibly beautiful place.

Good place

Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy is an exhibition center that hosts different rich, vibrant Art exhibitions, cultural shows, dance shows and drama theatres at different times. There is always something going on that you can enjoy with your whole family and friends. There is ample open space to gossip with your friends. Sometimes there is temporary food shops that offer traditional snacks and foods especially winter cakes (শীতের পিঠা). For individual events there are several multistoried buildings with parking spaces. Please check for any particular event duration and timings before visiting.

Great place to enjoy art and spend time with friends.

Founded in 1974, Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy is a national organization for cultural activities, such as arts, dance, drama, recitations and such. It consists of 6 main divisions. Located in Segun Bagicha, this is one of the centre points of Dhaka city worth visiting. I have been to the Shilpakala Academy many times since my childhood. One of my cousins used to perform in dramas and we used to go and watch him play. I recently went with a friend during an art and a dance event. The place has been refurbished under the current government. The lighting is amazing and it has never been so crowded before. Definitely recommended to pay a visit.

Nice Kathputli show. This is one of the many times I visited Shilpakala and it always gives me such a good vibe. A cultural place for art, fest, shows and stage drama.

“The object of art is not to reproduce reality, but to create a reality of the same intensity.” — Alberto Giacometti Creativity takes courage and you will find creativity in the every corner of this place ⚠️📍

It's a stunningly beautiful place in which to enjoy oneself while being entertained. We may conceive of it as the epicenter of our Bengali cultural legacy, if that makes sense. Participants in theatrical performances, dramatic readings, musical performances, and other cultural activities will be able to do so in the most comfortable setting possible here. There are art galleries, musicians' quarters, make-up facilities, studios, and a vast theater on the property, making it a particularly desirable place for musicians, actors, and other creative types. It is located right across the street from the Anti-Corruption Commission. It's a breathtakingly lovely location.

I was invited to the 16th Asian Art Biennial as a jury member. The biennial was held at the Shilpacala Academy. We did our jury studies there. I added photos of some of the works attending the biennial that year. They continue to perform the biennial with great devotion and enthusiasm.

The new artist art exhibition held on Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy for 30 Nov 2020 to 29 Dec 2020. I visited that today and it's just legendary. The arts, crafts, types of thinking all are very much wonderful and excellent. I think all may enjoy this. Such a nice exhibition this is.

I went to the Art Exhibit that took place here. I personally LOVED the exhibition. I had a great companion, and I loved hanging out here. The pieces had the artist introduction beside them, that was great for people like me who didn't understand art with a deeper meaning. I loved admiring the amazing talent that these wonderful artists had. I really want to go back there and spend my whole day. I loved how the security was very particular about wearing masks. And I loved how they were taking care of everyone's bags, too. I met a wonderful girl here who took my photos, and I wish I could ask her name. All in all, a great place to go to during this winter. Would definitely recommend it!

Bara Katra, a historical and architectural monument, is one of the oldest buildings in Dhaka. The word Katra may have originated from Arabic word Katara which means colonnaded building. 'Katra/ katara' in Arabic and Persian means 'Caravan Sarai' or simply a 'Sarai'. Now there is a madrasa in it. But It's about to lost it's pride for the lack of care. Thank you

Bara Katra (Bengali: বড় কাটরা; Great Caravanserai), a historical and architectural monument, is one of the oldest buildings in Dhaka.[1] The word Katra may have originated from Arabic word Katara which means colonnaded building. 'Katra/ katara' in Arabic and Persian means 'Caravan (Karwan) Sarai' or simply a 'Sarai'. It is a palatial building dating to the reign of the Mughal dynasty in the Bengal region. It is situated to the south of Chowk Bazaar close to the north bank of the river Buriganga. History 1823 etching of Bara Katra by Sir Charles D'Oyly 1870 photograph of Bara Katra 1975 view of Bara Katra from the south Bara Katra was built between 1644 and 1646 AD by Mir Abul Qasim, the diwan (chief revenue official)[2] of Mughal prince Shah Shuja. It was intended to be Shah Shuja's residence, but Shah Shuja endowed it to Mir Abul Qasem.[3] Less than half of the structure remains, and it is in disrepair. The Department of Archaeology has been unable to take charge of the monument owing to litigation and resistance from its owners. The owners have altered the original building and encroached upon it with new construction.[4] Abul Qasim al-Husaini at-Tabtaba as-Simnani built this edifice, endowing it with twenty-two shops, attached to it, on the rightful and lawful condition that the officials in charge of the endowment would expend the income derived from them upon the repairs of the building and upon the poor and that they should not take any rent from any deserving person alighting therein, so that the pious act may reflect upon the monarch in this world and that they should not act contrariwise, or else they would be called to account on the Day of Retribution. — An inscription composed by Mughal poet Sa'ad-uddin Muhammad Shirazi Architecture The building follows the traditional pattern of Central Asian caravanserais and is embellished as per Mughal architecture. Originally it enclosed a quadrangular courtyard.[3] A reconstructed model of the Bara Katra The southern wing extends 67.97 metres (223.0 ft),[4] and fronted on the Buriganga River. In the middle is an entrance set in a three-storeyed projected bay.[3] The gateway has an arched alcove that rises to the second story, above which are the windows of the third storey.[4] The arched main entrance is in the centre of the alcove. The underside of the alcove, spandrels, and surrounding walls are decorated with plastered panels exhibiting a variety of forms, including four-centered, cusped, horseshoe, and flat arches. The main portion of the wing is two-storeyed and bookended by tall projected octagonal towers.[3] The northern wing was similar, but with a less elaborate gate.[2] The east and west wings were single storey and about 70.10 metres (230.0 ft) long.[4] In the 19th century, Orientalist James Atkinson described the building as "a stupendous pile of grand and beautiful architecture".[5] The southern entrance leads to a guardroom, then an octagonal domed hall (the ceiling of which is plastered and decorated with net-patters and foliage designs), and finally to the courtyard. On the ground floor of the southern wing, there are five vaulted rooms to either side of the gateway. On the upper floor, living chambers open off of a corridor.[4] Shops and living quarters surrounded the courtyard on

Good place for art practises and holding art exhibitions.

During the Mughal period, the largest and most spectacular installation in Dhaka was Boro Katra. It is located on the north bank of the river Buriganga, south of Chawkbazar in Dhaka. At one time it had a great reputation for its architectural beauty, but now its gate stands in ruins.

Pretty big place. Good for exhibitions, programs held by them.

An amazing place to keep the practice of culture and music. It is the central practicing center of music in Bangladesh. This kind of area should be more introduced in this country for keeping the practice of pure culture.

The event arranged by IUT, Break The Circle was absolutely breathtaking. With low lightings and soft music, the pictures were worth gazing upon

Joydeb Pur picnic spot , a beautiful natural place . We were there in 2013 , from Defodill technical college and enjoy the picnic peace fully .

It is a national Academy of fine and performing arts. Different film festival and art festivals are held there. You can spend a beautiful evening at the open ground there.

Best place for showing fine art and related field work like photography and films etc.

Good location. Nice environment.

I wish Samdani Art Foundation would donate the soil they gathered for installation arts. Shilpakala Academy lacks much in pure soil. Hope this academy of arts would be a true example of 'living in art'. Even the washroom should be redesigned. At least the surroundings and the adjacent streets around the academy should be cleared. That wholesome change would really give the passers-by around that there is something 'arts' in here! Thank you!

Famous place in Dhaka.

Important place for Bangladesh Culture

Great place for arranging photography fair,cultural programms.

Very nice place

Really, this is a good place. I like it

Arts and cultural events arranged here. It’s a government institution with large galleries. It’s a cultural practice of Bangladesh. Arts and photography exhibition showcase here. It’s a very famous cultural center of Bangladesh. All kind of arts activities award show and some international events held there. It’s a very opportunity to get selected here for art works I must say

Love this place. And the events are so good. So many creativity and so new thing's. Good place for learning and knowing about art . Very knowledgeable. I just loved that place and all the events. And all of the events are free ...

Every people in our country have to visit this place. You can learn several things. Do u love art? then it's a great place for you. Here I uploaded some pictures of recent art exhibitions.

The place is really amazing. Full of innovative arts and paintings. But the problem is the exhibitions shouldn't be free of cost. The authority should start ticket system. Most of the people there went to just capture photos and post it in the social media. Not a single person I saw was interested in the arts and details. They just went there solely for capturing photos. No respect and understanding for art. There was so much crowd which is very irritating for people who go there only for the art. I don't really get why Bangladeshi people make every place dating place? Why do they make every occasion dating occasion? I felt very disgusting. I think authority should ban mobile phones inside the hall and charge a good amount of money for ticket.

A great place for exploring creativity & art...

The place is now a property of a Madrasah. Many of the old building have reconstructed and plastered. Only the main tremendous gate is now visible in its original form. The place could have been preserved by the govt and it could be one of the best historical site. But it is too late and the changes have been made cannot be undone. By the way the monument has still attractive features and you'll certainly be happy and get a slight touch of Mughal Architectural skills visiting this place. This is really magnificent and able to testify your taste in old Bengal history.

A market place where u can buy many goods....amd there is also some historical palce like borokatara gate for visit....

A historical place. It was built in Mughal period and the development time was between 1644-1646. The structure changed a lot from the original and not well maintained. If you visit old town, you may have a visit.

Boro Katra is an Architectural relic of Dhaka city. This mughal Architecture was built in 1643-1645. Situated at Chawkbazar, near Shahi Mashjid and close to the bank of buriganga. It has already been destroyed. Government should take immediate step to save this magnificent Architecture.

These divisions are run by five directors. The Director General, who is appointed by the government, is the chief executive of the academy.

Nice ambience. Great place for hangout

This is a cultural point for culture loving people.

Amazing ground for nurturing creative talent and output....versatile relevant infrastructure available for divese use. Only downside not public friendly..... Not enough parking, bathrooms are sub par and ill maintained, did not see any disability access, drinking water is hard to find even if you wanted to buy.

A place of joy. You can enjoy everyday more then two or tree times show of performence

It's the best place for artists who makes sculpture, art & design to exhibit or display their creativity.

If you are an artist then Bangladesh shilpakala academy is for you... It's not only for artists... Anyone who likes arts, music, natto must visit the place... And in shilpakala academy you will always get fair for food, clothes, traditional thing etc... Also some concerts... And of course too much free space...

A great place to see the cultures in pictures and art. I've been there while an exhibition was running. Crowd was moderate. There is no fee for entering. Recommended to visit while in Dhaka. You can use the toilets, male & female toilets are separated. So don't get any funny ideas. The academy provides training and resources in various arts and cultural disciplines such as music, dance, theater, fine arts, and crafts. It also serves as a center for cultural events and exhibitions, hosting performances, exhibitions, workshops, and other cultural activities throughout the year.

The place is fantastic. I have visited the place for the very first time for a while. I felt so nice to visit the place.

A place for art and art enthusiastic people. Bangladesh Shilpokola Academy stands as a beacon of artistic expression and cultural preservation. As a visitor, I was captivated by the rich heritage and diverse artistic offerings that the academy had to offer. First and foremost, the academy's commitment to promoting and preserving traditional Bangladeshi art forms is commendable.
