Sonargaon is a famous place; Not only for the historic events that took place centering it but also for its magnificent traditional arts and crafts growing over time. And the Sonargaon Folk Art and Craft Museum is where all these fine arts and crafts are accumulated to uphold their beauty and charms before the visitors. This museum stays open from morning to afternoon (9AM to 5PM) and remains closed on Wednesdays and Thursdays. It is prosperous with several unique collections; Collections you’ll never find at any other place. Some are lost from our country and some remains. The main museum building is placed at the “Sardar Bari”. “Sardar Bari” was built by a Hindu Zamindar of Sonargaon in 1901. Its remarkable designs and carvings are similar to the other Hindu Zamindar houses found in India and to some extent it also has a touch of designs used in European palaces. The baroque decoration and the elaborated painting on the plaster of the building are really eye catching.
Lok Shilpa Jadughar (Folk Art and Craft Museum) of Sonargaon was established by Bangladeshi painter Joynul Abedin on March 12, 1975.
It will cost you 10 taka to enter the museum area. It's a vast area, and will take you significant amount of time to cover the whole region. You’ll find an art gallery of “Zainul Abedin” inside the museum area. There are two Exhibition Galleries inside the museum. Both of them consist of some statues showing the local life of Bangladeshi people, for example farming, women working etc. Also you’ll find the miniature version of the several boats, which now a days are almost impossible to find due to the advancement of new and daily-improving mechanical vessels.
How to go:
This is about 15-20 taka rickshaw fare cost from the Mograpara Crossing at Sonargaon
How to reach Sonargaon Upazila:
Bus services are available that leads to Sonargaon from Gulistan, Saidabad and other bus stands in Dhaka. Tickets may be bought from the roadside counters. The price of the ticket from Gulistan bus stand is around 35 BDT, and the ride may take about 40 minutes, depending on the unpredictable traffic. You should mention your destination as Mograpara. You can reach that place using bus from Dhaka (Gulistan). This will take you around 1 hour to reach at the place. You have to get down from the bus at Mograpara Crossing.From the crossing, you have to take a rickshaw, and have to tell the puller to drop you at Sonargaon. This will require 20 taka for the lift.
Thing to do:
The Museum area has several lakes, and you can take a boat ride by spending very little amount of money. Also you can do a fishing at the lakes by paying a required amount of money. There is an area where the kid or the mature people can have some local rides, for example Nagor Dola. This is the most busiest place from the museum area according to my observation. There is a small local market, where you can by crafts, and other stuffs like Jamdani Sarees etc. We had found the shops were closed, but May be after 3:00 PM they are open for the visitors.
