In 1948 Faculty of Fine Art (former Institute of Fine Art) established with only three Departments under the leadership of shilpacharya Zainul Abedin. Also known as Charukola Institute. There are several sculpture in the campus area,where you can feel peace of mind. Its full of natural beauty, very pleasant and enjoyable. Great place to visit during the Eve of our Bengali New Year.
