Mymensingh Museum (Bengali: ময়মনসিংহ জাদুঘর) is located at the Baganbari[1] of zamindar Madan Babu at 17 Amrita Babu Road, Mymensingh, Bangladesh. The museum, which began as an important regional institution for preservation of locally collected historical evidence, lacks proper preservation. Its objective is to preserve the rare and unique relics of local architecture, sculpture, metal works, utensils, handwritten scripts on paper and leaf, and commercial products. Collected from the palaces of Mymensingh District zamindars, the museum's initial collection included 214 articles.[2] They are housed in three rooms within the museum.

The museum was established in 1969 at the initiative of the-then Deputy Commissioner of Mymensingh.[3] Initially run by the Mymensingh Municipality, the Department of Archaeology, Cultural Affairs Ministry took charge of the museum in 1989.[4] By 1995, it was enlisted in the gazette.[3]
