Located in the Agrabad area of Chittagong, this is the only ethnological museum in Bangladesh. It houses exhibits focused on the history, traditions, and daily lives of the country's various ethnic minority groups. Travelers visit this site to understand the cultural diversity of the region through physical artifacts and displays.
