Ahsan manzil construction of this palace was completed from 1859 to 1872. Which was previously a royal palace, now it is being used as a museum. The founder of this palace was Nawab Abdul Gani, and he named it Ahsan Manzil after his favorite son, Khwaja Ahsan.

After Bangladesh gained independence, Ahsan Manzil was on the verge of destruction. When this manzil was put up for auction in 1974, the Sheikh Mujib government kept it as a museum to preserve the beauty and heritage of this manzil. It is now operated under the Bangladesh National Museum. The museum was officially inaugurated on September 20, 1992.

The entrance fee to the museum is 40 taka per person for citizens of our country and 500 taka for foreign citizens. Tickets to the museum can be purchased online and directly. Since it is in a busy area of the capital, Dhaka, thousands of people come here every day to visit. However, it is a weekly holiday on Thursday and is open every day from 10:30 to 17:00 .

The museum contains all the furniture of the royal palace, starting from the furniture used by the kings to various other necessary things. Since there is a duplex room like the 2nd floor inside, there is a wooden staircase at that time.

The beauty of the palace is fully displayed as there is a beautiful balcony on the 2nd floor. Since the balcony faces the river, the real beauty can be enjoyed standing on the balcony.

The museum depicts the lifestyle of the kings, which is a traditional scene for our country. We were able to see and enjoy the society, lifestyle, and culture of that time by visiting the museum.

The environment there is quite beautiful, and the buildings and wooden windows of the past are also quite worth seeing. There are mentions of weapons and war clothes for the wars of the kings' era. There is all the equipment for treating the hospitals of the kings' era, which are kept inside glass cases. However, it is worth mentioning where the furniture was stored.

What attracted me the most was the document gate of the place of the kings' era, which has been decorated. Inside the room, there is a cupboard, a glass dinner set, and a huge chest for keeping silver, gold, and diamonds.

As we learn in museums, everything from the past is visible. However, since there is a palace in this museum, it is very interesting to see.

Documents	Food place

During the reign of the kings, the heads of buffaloes and deer were kept there in the rooms, which are now almost extinct. Next to the museum, there is a beautiful flower garden where everyone spends time with their families sitting under the open sky.
