TheBogyoke Aung San Museum (Burmese:ဗိုလ်ချုပ် အောင်ဆန်း ပြတိုက်), located inBahan,Yangon, is a museum dedicated to GeneralAung San, the founder of modernMyanmar (Burma). Established in 1962, the two-story museum was Aung San's last residence before his assassination in July 1947. It is a colonial-era villa, built in 1921,[1] where his daughterAung San Suu Kyi grew up as a child. The museum, with its focus on Gen. Aung San's short adult life, is complementary to theBogyoke Aung San Residence Museum inNatmauk,Magwe Division, which is dedicated to his childhood and family memorabilia. It houses exhibits on his life story and general memorabilia which includes clothing, books, furniture, family photos and the late general's car.
For many years, the museum was opened only for three hours each year– on theMartyrs' Day of 19 July, from 9 am to 4 pm.[2] The restriction is in line with the currentmilitary government's policy of restricting any mention of Gen. Aung San in the media in order to marginalize Aung San Suu Kyi. The museum formally reopened on 24 March 2012.[3]
The museum is listed on theYangon City Heritage List.[4]
The majority of the displays are located at the family room, dining room and living room on the ground floor.[2]
