Ethnological Museum Trip-CL 1

     One of the most cultural enriching attractions in the city of Chittagong is the Agrabad Ethnological Museum.  It is a museum that preserves the past, but also grows and develops in line with the growth and development of the country, and is therefore documenting the present for future generations to look back and reflect on. The Ethnological Museum is one of the most specialized museums in Bangladesh and is a symbol of unity and progress.  

     The students of Class 1 Rose and Tulip of International Turkish Hope School Chittagong Branch had visited this museum today, February 15, 2012. It is a museum where all the tribes of Bangladesh, past and present come together. Inside the Ethnological Museum, students saw the development of the twelve tribes Chittagong and the twenty nine ethnic groups that are found in Bangladesh.

The students also visited the eleven galleries in the museum and saw the breathtaking paintings, models, environment reconstruction, maps, photographs, display of weaponry, vases, weaving, clothing, boats, scissors, bamboo pipes, wooden shelves, and ornaments of the tribal community.

The museum has also been extended to include tribes that are located in India, Australia and in Pakistan. The Ethnological Museum is therefore a comprehensive look into the people of Bangladesh and how each tribe used to live, play and practice traditions. It also documents the growth and development of the people of Bangladesh and will continue to enhance their exhibits as these tribes head towards the future.

In this outdoor cultural visit students enjoyed a lot.
