Sher-e-Bangla Memorial Museum (Bengali: শেরে বাংলা স্মৃতি জাদুঘর) is located in Chakhar, Barisal District in Bangladesh, on land belonging to Chakhar Boys’ High School and Wazed Memorial Girls’ High School. The museum was established in memory of the British Bengal-born Pakistani statesman Sher-e-Bangla (also known as A. K. Fazlul Huq).[1]

In 1982, under the Ministry of Cultural Affairs, the Department of Archaeology began construction of the museum. Built on a part of Sher-e-Bangla’s homestead. The museum opened in 1983.

Initially, it held rare photographs, used furniture, letters, and a crocodile from the Sundarbans gifted to Sher-e-Bangla by Syed Anichuzzaman.[2]
