About This Museum
People don't come here for a traditional museum experience, but to wander through a perfectly preserved slice of mid-20th century life. The main draw is the colony itself, a quiet, leafy neighborhood of charming old houses that feels completely frozen in time. You can spend a lovely hour or two just strolling the peaceful lanes, admiring the architecture and imagining the stories these walls could tell. It’s less about curated exhibits and more about soaking up a unique, almost melancholic atmosphere that you won't find anywhere else in the city.
Collection Highlights
The 'exhibits' are the homes themselves—each one a relic of a bygone era with its own character. Keep an eye out for ornate wooden windows, wide verandas perfect for catching the breeze, and the general layout of a planned community that prioritized shade and community space.
Visitor Information
A heads-up for anyone planning a trip: it appears this unique spot is now permanently closed. It's always best to double-check locally before you go, as access to these residential areas can change.
Architecture & Building
The buildings are classic examples of late British Colonial and early Bangladeshi utilitarian architecture, featuring high ceilings, large shuttered windows, and steeply pitched roofs designed to handle the Barishal weather.
