About
Quick facts: The museum houses an impressive collection of over 400 rare coins, some dating all the way back to the sultanate period of the 13th century. Here you come face to face with original terracotta plaques that were rescued from the crumbling walls of mosques.
Highlights: Get up close to the exquisite terracotta reliefs depicting warriors on horseback and dancing women. They are over 600 years old, but the details are as sharp as if they were made yesterday. One of the most fascinating objects is an old cannon with Arabic inscriptions that tells a story of seafaring and warfare in medieval Bengal.
