Shilpacharya Zainul Folk and Craft Museum, a museum established by the Bangladesh Folk Arts and Crafts Foundation to preserve the ancient heritage of Bangladesh, is located in Sonargaon, near Dhaka.

History

In an effort to develop the folk cultural trend of rural Bengal, Shilpacharya Zainul Abedin established the Bangladesh Folk and Crafts Foundation on March 12, 1975, in an old house in the historic Panam city of Sonargaon. Later, in 1981, in a complex covering an area of 150 bighas, artist Zainul Abedin attempted to build this museum in an open environment to showcase the artistic activities of the common people of rural Bangladesh, centered on the nature and environment of Bengal, and the Bangladesh Folk and Crafts Foundation complex was shifted to the almost 100-year-old Sardar's house.

Description

The Folk and Crafts Museum is located in the Bangladesh Folk Arts and Crafts Foundation area in Sonargaon. It houses the handicrafts of the illiterate artists of neglected rural Bengal and everyday products of public life. These artefacts reveal the traditional folk art of ancient Bengal at that time.

There are a total of 10 galleries in Sardar's house. The galleries display wood carvings, crafts, paintings and masks, tribal life-based artifacts, rural folk life environment, folk musical instruments and terracotta artifacts, copper-cast-brass artifacts, iron-made artifacts, folk ornaments, and many more. A little east of the building is the Zainul Abedin Memorial Museum, established in a modern building rich in folk architecture. There are only two galleries in this building. One of these two galleries is made of wood, which is rich in ancient and modern artifacts. Moreover, the natural, characteristic wood of Bangladesh and the overall process of making various crafts from wood and finally selling it, have been very attractively depicted with models. Outside these two buildings, there are libraries, documentation centers, seminar halls, canteens, craft stages, rural gardens and various types of trees, a lake, a boat ramp for cruising around the lake, fishing facilities, and a birdwatching boat.
