The Bangladesh National Museum has dismissed recent media reports about alleged irregularities in the construction costs and recruitment process of the July Uprising Memorial Museum, calling them baseless and misleading. In a press release issued on April 30, 2026, the museum clarified that no recruitment has yet taken place for the new museum. It explained that a CCTV video circulating online showed an informal meeting with families of martyrs and injured persons, not a job interview. The museum said all future hiring will follow official government procedures under a high-level recruitment committee.
The statement also denied claims of excessive spending, stating that from April 2025 to February 2026, total hospitality expenses amounted to 3.74 million taka, not over 10 million as reported. It further clarified that the 6.4 million taka boundary wall cost was part of a larger 984.5 million taka allocation managed by the Public Works Department, not the museum itself. The museum emphasized that the project to convert the former Ganabhaban in Sher-e-Bangla Nagar into a museum was a major undertaking and that the facility is now ready for inauguration by the Prime Minister.
The museum urged media outlets to verify information before publication to avoid spreading misinformation.
