History of Maritime museum

Main gate

Maritime Museum is a museum run by the Bangladesh Navy. This museum is located on Naval Avenue, adjacent to MA Aziz Stadium in Chittagong city. Initially, this museum was established in one room of an old building of Bangladesh Marine Academy, but later it was expanded to its current location and the museum was opened to visitors in 2022.

Since this museum was opened during the Corona period, people initially did not know much about this museum, but in recent times this museum has gained a lot of popularity. I went to visit this museum during the Eid holiday of Qurbani and I enjoyed it a lot.


Ticket and Entry

The museum is basically divided into two parts, outdoor and indoor. To enter the indoor museum, you have to pay a ticket price of 50 taka. To visit the outdoor museum, you have to buy a ticket of 10 taka. However, if you buy an indoor ticket, you can visit both the indoor and outdoor museums at the same time. After entering the museum, we first bought a ticket worth 50 taka. We actually went to visit both the indoor and outdoor museums.About 200 to 300 visitors come to visit this museum every day.


Outdoor Museum

Rocket and ship

Since the Maritime Museum is a museum run by the Navy, there was a detailed description of various types of modern and past equipment used in various functions of the Navy. A visitor can get an idea about the various equipment used by the Navy by visiting the museum.

What I liked the most was that the decoration of the museum gave details about the use of each equipment and the functionality of that equipment in both Bengali and English. So that any foreign visitor can get detailed knowledge about the equipment.

Marine resources

The indoor museum is located on the south side of the large field of the outdoor museum. This indoor museum is the main attraction of the Maritime Museum. Before entering the indoor museum, you have to show the ticket that was purchased at the main gate of the museum. After entering the museum, there is a map of the maritime border of Bangladesh, which I liked very much. In this three-story indoor museum, on the first floor there was a description of the maritime border of Bangladesh, various mineral resources under the sea, sea corals, and various sea animals.

Domestic ships and boats of different periods

The third floor has a detailed description of the history of the emergence and development of the navy. What I liked the most is the portrait artwork of Bangladeshi ships from different periods. Which captivates any visitor. In the past, artists have made various types of ships in Bangladesh with very skillful hands, which I might never have known if I hadn't visited this museum.

There is a restaurant in front of the market for visitors. Where everything from fast food to Chinese and local food is available. Although I haven't tried the food, I can't give my review about the quality of the food.

Me encantó conocer el museo de la Armada de tu país a través de tu publicación, me encantó el mapa de la frontera marítima de Bangladesh y los modelos de las distintas embarcaciones a través del tiempo, ese tipo de exposiciones me resultan más atractivas que las pantallas informativas.

Este museo es muy completo en el sentido de que además de su contenido de valor histórico, ofrece espacios de esparcimiento y servicios extra.

Fue un gusto leerte.
