The ancestral home of General M A G Osmani, commander-in-chief of the Bangladesh forces in 1971, kept as a museum by the National Museum.
General Muhammad Ataul Gani Osmani was Commander-in-Chief of the Bangladesh Forces during the Liberation War, from April 1971 to April 1972. His family home in Sylhet became a museum in his memory: the foundation stone was laid in February 1985 and it opened on 4 March 1987.
The house is kept as a museum of his life and of the war he led. It is a small museum, an hour's visit at most, and is run as a branch of the Bangladesh National Museum.
