Shampur Jomidar Bari
About This Museum
Tucked away down a quiet, unnamed lane in Shampur, this place feels like stepping through a portal. You don't just see the Jomidar Bari; you feel its history the moment you walk under the grand, crumbling gateway. The main mansion, with its intricate terracotta panels and vast, shaded courtyards, tells a story of a bygone era of opulence. It’s incredibly peaceful now, a world away from the chaos of modern Bangladesh.
Collection Highlights
The real highlight is the architecture itself—the sheer scale of the central courtyard and the detailed carvings around the windows. Inside, you'll find old family photographs and remnants of their daily life that make the history feel personal and tangible.
Visitor Information
It's easy to miss, so keep an eye out for the landmark H832+WRJ code on Google Maps. There's no fancy ticket booth; it feels more like you're just wandering into a piece of local history.
Architecture & Building
A classic example of a Bengali Zamindar estate from the colonial period, featuring a central two-story structure with deep verandas, ornate terracotta reliefs, and a sprawling layout designed around massive inner courtyards.
