The arts tell the story( a Bangladeshi artist Zainul Abedin)

Zainul Abedin (29 December 1914 – 28 May 1976) was a Bengali painter. He got the break through in 1944 with his Famine Series paintings of 1943. After partition he moved to Pakistan; and finally when Bangladesh was created in 1971, he was rightly considered by Syed Manzoorul Islam as the founding father of Bangladeshi modern art. In 1948 he helped establish the Institute of Arts and Crafts (now Faculty of Fine Arts) at Dhaka University. The Indian Express described him as a Legendary Bangladeshi painter. Like many of his contemporaries, his paintings on the Bengal famine of 1943 is probably his most characteristic work. He was given the title Shilpacharya (Great Teacher of the Arts) in Bangladesh for his artistic and visionary qualities.

If anyone interest about Bangladeshi culture and art then must visit this museum. This is a great place to visit with family. Kids likes this place for beautiful natural landscape and the museum of rural products. They also get to learn a lot of history here from those era. They organize month long exhibition of Bangladesh rural products as well as our very own handmade products, sarees, weaving and other craft works during the Bangla nobo borsho
