Prime Minister Tarique Rahman inaugurated the July Mass Uprising Memorial Museum at the former Ganabhaban in Sher-e-Bangla Nagar, Dhaka, on Wednesday. The opening coincided with the second anniversary of the 2024 July mass uprising. After unveiling a memorial plaque, participants recited Surah Fatiha and offered prayers, while the prime minister toured the museum’s galleries and exhibits. The museum will open to the public from Thursday.
Former interim government chief adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus, the prime minister’s daughter Zaima Rahman and cabinet members attended. A documentary on the events of the July uprising, public participation and its victory was screened. Rahman said the museum should not become a venue for establishing the political narrative of any one party, group or individual, describing democracy-seeking people as the uprising’s protagonists.
Yunus called the museum a source of inspiration for building a new Bangladesh and urged students and citizens to visit it. According to the Cultural Affairs Ministry, the decision to convert Ganabhaban into the museum was made in September 2024. Rahman said the museum should preserve the history of all democratic movements and struggles in Bangladesh alongside the July uprising.
