Assam Legislative Assembly's goodwill delegation to Bangladesh received a warm reception from Bangladesh. Team visited Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Memorial Museum. MLAs studied the museum and its displays. Bangabandhu Memorial Museum, also known as Bangabandhu Bhaban or simply as Dhanmondi 32 was the personal residence of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman alias Bangabandhu, the founding father and president of Bangladesh. Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was assassinated with most members of his family in this residence. Located in Dhanmondi, Dhaka, it is now a museum. The museum was also declared a national heritage site by RAJUK in 2009. After Sheikh Hasina obtained the ownership of the residence, she announced the conversion of the house into museum. When Hasina was arrested after she attended a political program during the 1990 Mass Uprising in Bangladesh, she conceived the idea of turning the house into a museum. Sufia Kamal, Baby Maudud, Gaziul Haque, Pavel Rahman and many others helped convert the house into a museum. The museum was inaugurated on 14 August 1994. Bangabandhu Memorial Trust was handed the house to turn it into a museum on 6 September 1994. To achieve this oal, the trust selected Ehsan Khan, Ishtiaque Jahir and Iqbal Habib from an architectural design competition.[16] While turning it into a museum, the trust preserved the original structure of the house. On 20 August 2011, the museum was extended by building a new six-storey structure adjacent to the house.
