In 2001, after receiving a fund from the
UNESCO, a museum has built by the government at Bagerhat in the UNESCO
world heritage site “Shat Gombuj Mosque”
complex. It is now being used as a learning center to let people aware
about the ancient city named Khalifatabad established by Khan Jahan Ali which is known as Bagerhat today.
It is a one storied building. It has two
large galleries to display antiques. Antiques found in Bagerhat are
categorized into two parts. One of them are the earthen materials and
another is wooden and slate (rock/stone). There is a photo gallery too
to display the rare photos of artifacts and ruined architectural
structures.
The building is built later but the
designers made it with a beauty of ancient structure visibly similar
with the mosque because of the dome so that the museum does not look odd
in the complex. During the summer time, it is opened from 9 am to 6 pm
for the visitors. The entry fee for the complex is 20 taka for
Bangladeshi citizens and it is also the ticket of the museum, there is
no separate ticket is needed.
The latest collection of this museum is
the skin of the alligator (named Kalapahar) of Khan Jahan Ali. After its
death, the skin is preserved and being displayed at the museum.
