Former interim government chief adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus has described the newly inaugurated July Mass Uprising Memorial Museum as a moral and historical guide for future generations, saying, “If we ever lose our way, we will come to this museum to find it again.”
Speaking at the inauguration ceremony of the museum at the former Ganabhaban on Wednesday, Yunus said the museum is more than a collection of historical artefacts—it stands as a symbol of the people’s struggle, sacrifice and aspiration for a democratic Bangladesh.
He urged citizens, especially the younger generation, to visit the museum regularly to learn about the July-August 2024 mass uprising and the sacrifices made by students and ordinary people.
According to Yunus, the museum will help ensure that the lessons of the movement remain alive and continue to inspire future generations.
Prime Minister Tarique Rahman formally inaugurated the July Mass Uprising Memorial Museum at Sher-e-Bangla Nagar.
Established at the former official residence of Sheikh Hasina, the museum preserves photographs, official documents, video footage, personal belongings, eyewitness accounts and other artefacts related to the 2024 uprising.
The museum will open to the general public from Thursday.
Admission has been fixed at Tk 50 for adults and Tk 25 for children, with an online ticketing system also introduced.
