Ahsan Manzil Museum
About This Museum
People come to Ahsan Manzil not just for a history lesson, but to stand in the very rooms where the Nawabs of Dhaka once lived. That iconic pink facade, rising beside the Buriganga River, is an immediate spectacle. Inside, you wander through grand halls and surprisingly intimate private chambers, all filled with heavy chandeliers, ornate European furniture, and portraits of a bygone aristocracy. It’s a place that doesn't just tell you about history—it lets you feel its presence.
Collection Highlights
Don't miss the grand Durbar Hall with its throne-like chairs, or the fascinating collection of everyday objects like ivory-handled hair brushes and monogrammed porcelain that make the Nawabs' lives feel surprisingly real.
Visitor Information
It's right on the riverbank in Old Dhaka, so the area can be bustling; going in the morning is your best bet for a more relaxed experience.
Architecture & Building
A magnificent Indo-Saracenic palace crowned by a colossal central dome that's impossible to miss, all painted in that unforgettable shade of pink.
