| Bangabandhu Memorial Museum |
A special museum located in Dhanmondi 32 in the center of the capital Dhaka, with a collection of some items related to the memories of Bangabandhu and his family, was established on August 14, 1994 to preserve the memory of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, one of the leaders of Bangladesh's independence.
This house was extensively damaged in the subsequent violence after the student uprising in 2024.
Sheikh Mujib had lived in a house on Road No. 32 in the Dhanmondi residential area of Dhaka since before independence.
In 1956, while he was a minister, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's private secretary Nuruzzaman submitted an application to the Public Works Department for land in the Dhanmondi area.
In 1957, one bigha of land was allocated in Dhanmondi for six thousand taka. Later, a two-room one-story and later a two-story house was built here.
On October 1, 1961, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman started living in this house with his family.
Sheikh Mujibur Rahman used to give various important speeches and urgent decisions to the public from this house during the Six-Point Movement of 1966, the mass uprising of 1969, the general elections of 1970, and the pre-war period of the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971.
While he was the President, he was killed in an attack by an armed group of the military on August 15, 1975 in this building. The house was later looted. Then, during the Zia government, the house was sealed.
When the house was handed over to Sheikh Hasina in 1981, Bangabandhu's two heirs, Sheikh Hasina and Sheikh Rehana, formed the Bangabandhu Memorial Trust on April 11, 1994 and handed over the house to the trust.
After declaring Bangladesh's independence, the Pakistani army arrested Sheikh Mujib at 1:30 am on March 26.
From then on, the Pakistani army occupied the house until Bangladesh won the victory, and the building was damaged by gunfire from the Pakistani army.
During the student non-cooperation movement in August 2024, after Sheikh Hasina resigned from the post of Prime Minister and left the country on August 5, a section of protesters set fire to and looted the museum.
On February 5, 2025, the Facebook page of the banned organization Student League in Bangladesh announced that Sheikh Hasina would address the students at 9 pm. Hearing this news, in the evening, coordinator Hasnat Abdullah wrote in a post on his verified Facebook account that the pilgrimage site of fascism will be liberated in Bangladesh on the night of the 5th.
On the same day, Pinaki Bhattacharya also called on people to demolish Dhanmondi 32 in a video message on Facebook. Many people posted on Facebook with the title Bulldozer procession. The building was vandalized shortly after 8 pm. The student crowd said they wanted to demolish the house of the main sponsor of fascism to create a grave for fascism.
