    Varendra Research Museum is the oldest museum in Bangladesh, located in Rajshahi. It was established in 1910 as a collection for the Varendra Investigation Society and maintains artifacts representing the Indus Valley Civilization up to the Muslim period. The century-old museum needs restoration and an extension to properly store and display its growing collection of archaeological finds. Expanding the museum will help preserve its artifacts and further knowledge of Bangladesh's history.

    About Varendra Research Museum:

    Varendra Museum is a museum, research centre, and popular visitor attraction


    at the heart of Rajshahi town and maintained by Rajshahi University in
    Bangladesh. It is considered the oldest museum in Bangladesh. It was the first
    museum to be established in East Bengal in 1910. The museum started out as
    the collection for Varendra Anushandan Samiti (or Varendra Investigation
    Society) and got its current name in 1919. The Rajahs of Rajshahi and Natore,
    notably prince Sharat Kumar Ray, donated their personal collections to
    Varendra Museum. Varendra refers to an ancient Janapada roughly
    corresponding to modern northern Bangladesh
    Collection:
     Gallery One has collections from the Indus Valley Civilization, and some of its 265 items from
    Sompur. It also contains old Sanskrit, Arabic and Persian scripts.

     Gallery Two has Buddhist and Hindu stone sculptures and modern wood sculptures.

     Galleries Three and Four display stone sculptures of Hindu gods and goddesses.

     Gallery Five offers mostly Buddhist sculpture.

     Gallery Six shows Arabic, Persian, Sanskrit and old Bengali stone inscriptions and sculptured
    stones of the Muslim period.

     A gallery has been added displaying the indigenous and tribal culture of Rajshahi region.
    Site Surroundings:

    In the existing site, three main structures were found. The front part is the Varendra
    Research Museum and the structural system is load-bearing brick wall. The linear
    rectangular building has two major functions: Administration and the Library. There is
    a Residential Block for officers and staff with a limited number of curators and the
    director. These structures have been constructed with brick. There is a garden in front
    of the director's residence with large old trees scattered among the entire site.
    Museum Extension:

    Varenda Research Museum was built in 1910 with the support of Maharaja of
    Dighapatia. The museum has historical significance and is also a heritage site of
    Bangladesh. The century-old museum demands restoration and the existing gallery
    space is not adequate to preserve and display all the artefacts. Also the Archaeological
    sites were found recently and the artefacts are increasing f existing museum has
    already begun. With the rise in number of artefacts in its inventory throughout the
    recent years and its added functional demand, the extension of this project has become
    inevitable to protect the old museum and to preserve the artefacts that has helped us
    learn more about our very own past.
