Went here for the Dhaka Art Summit 2018 and it was very well organized. Security staff were helpful and friendly. The lighting and temperature was well balanced to provide an optimal experience. Tourists, if you want a crash course on Bangladeshi history and culture, this place should be at the top of your list. People of Bangladesh, come here to learn more about your national identity and the artistic representation about the nation's condition. Definitely looking forward to visiting again.
