“Mujib and Independence” is a unique attempt to preserve and spread the history of Bangladesh’s great liberation war and independence from generation to generation under the leadership of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the greatest Bangalee of all time and the great architect of Independence.

Starting from the context of victory in the historic elections of 1970, the flow of events in the second room has progressed towards the history of the 1971 War of Liberation.
Bangabandhu’s historic Speech on March 7, mass killings by Pakistani occupation forces on March 25, declaration of independence on March 26 in the first hour, the relentless struggle of people from all walks of lives in the long nine-month bloody war and the sacrifices of freedom fighters and heroes have been placed in this room.
In the third room, along with the glorious victory of Bangladesh, the heroic contribution of the freedom fighters, there is also the golden history of Bangabandhu’s homecoming, reconstruction of the war-torn country, and consolidation of Bangladesh’s identity in the international arena.
The struggle life of Bangamata Sheikh Fazilatun Nessa Mujib and some moments of Bangabandhu’s family life are displayed. Then the black chapter of the history of Bangladesh took place on August 15, 1975.
