Bangladesh: Sonargaon Museum Park

This is a stunningly beautiful area that spans 50 hectares and includes the Sonargaon Folk Art and Craft Museum, housed in the historic Bara Sardar Bari, a 1901 Zamindar palace blending Indian and European architectural styles. Its opulence is amazing, with bright colors and lots of very elaborate decoration inside and out. Crowds of Bangladeshi come here to visit and appreciate their cultural heritage. The interior includes spacious halls, high ceilings, and large courtyards, typical of Zamindar baris designed for opulent living. There is a museum inside and a large museum housed in a modern building across the pond.
