This museum needs proper supply of electricity. According to the museum, the ticket price is too much. Lastly the environment of the museum is pretty.

Lokayan Museum is a tremendous initiative of Eco Social Development Organisation (ESDO), a Renowned Non Government Organisation of Thakurgaon. There are six different Gallery’s where a lot of local uncommon and distinguished products are available. The natural beauty of this Museum is mesmerising. Different types of programme are arranged in different times here.

লোকায়ন যাদুঘর। Traditional museum of bengali people. So lovely. If you want to know the bengali traditions, you have to come here. This is really a different types of museum which is such an incredible museum here in Thankurgaon sadar upzila in Thankurgaon district of Rangpur division of Bangladesh. From my point of view, it is a memorable museum for bangali people. And I hope it will be an interesting, memorable, historical museum for the foreigners. Everyone of our country people should visit this museum.

Some amazing collection of Bangla cultural staffs.In the traditional sense, a museum refers to a rich collection of evidence of kings and emperors of different centuries, times and eras. But the tradition that is built on the blood-sweat of hardworking people; It is completely neglected.Thakurgaon-based voluntary organization Eco Social Development Organization (ESDO) founder and executive director. Muhammad Shahid-uz-Zamans self-made dream crop - Lokayan is established by breaking the conventional notion of hard work and its life-long struggle, its materials, diversity and consciousness. The Lokayan Biodiversity Museum has been set up at Purba Akcha village near Thakurgaon district town.River GalleryThe River Gallery was opened to visitors in 2016. Almost all the river water of riverine Bangladesh is stored in this gallery. The water of the rivers that are lost forever is also in this river gallery. In addition to the various river-based occupations and vocational materials, a complete list of rivers in Bangladesh and related information, boats, river-based festival boating, Bhatiali songs, floods, chars, aquatic plants, fish, rain, birds, etc., various information is presented in this gallery.Small anthropological population gallery on the plainsBangladesh is home to a multinational-multidimensional population. Bangladesh, a land of diverse civilizations, cultures and traditions, lacks reliable data on the number and ethnicity of small ethnic groups. Minority ethnographic populations were not counted separately in the 1983 census. According to the 1974 census, there are 24 tribes and the total population is 8 lakh 96 thousand 728 people. In the 1991 census, the existence of 12 lakh 05 thousand 97 people of 29 tribes has been acknowledged. According to the latest census of 2011, the number of members of 26 small ethnic groups in Bangladesh is 15 lakh 8 thousand 141 people.The small anthropological community gallery has been decorated with various materials for the small ethnic anthropological peoples of the plains, especially the Santals and Oraons, their livelihood, culture, accommodation, clothing, food habits, occupations, festivals and social customs.Trinamool Folk GalleryThe oldest town is North-West Bangladesh. Trinamool Lokaj Gallery is a place of life, entertainment, festivals, happiness and sorrow, laughter and tears of people of different classes and professions of this traditional town. The gallery was opened to the public in 2007. Notable materials on display at the Trinamool Folk Gallery are:Agricultural implements: plow, ladder, fruit, da, kaste, hammer, shovel, hammer, spade, ax, weeder, doolie, dhemki, cham-gahin, kula, jala, khunti etc.Herbal and Reformed Medical Ingredients: Hamandista, medicine bowl, amulet, charm, mantra stick, khabnama, falnama etc.Cultural Instruments / Musical Instruments: Dhak, Dhol, Kara-Nakara, Madal, Mridang, Akrai, Ektara, Dotara, Flute, Sanai, Mouth Organ etc.Coins / Paper notes of different periods and periods: Coins of different periods of Sultanate period, Mughal period, English period, during Liberation War and Independence-North BangladeshOrnaments: Ornaments made of clay, zinc, silver etc. in different periods and times.Religious / Mangalik materials: Jainamaz, Jalchowki, Tasbi, Rudrakshamala, Japermala, Mangal Pradeep, Mangalsutra, Korbani Knife, Bali Da, Lakshmi Panchali, Punthi etc.Sports / Entertainment Materials: Latai, Dragon, Marble, Gulati, Dangs, Ludu, Carrom, Baghaduli, Radio, Television, Cassette Player, VCR, VCD etc.Household items: Doors, windows, chests, wrappers, pies, quadrupeds, bowls, jugs, shoes / clogs, lamps, cups, hijacks etc.Wedding Items: Wedding dresses, cabinets, toppers, vermilion boxes, wedding poems, wedding cards, wedding trunks, suitcases etc.Pottery: Sanki, Chandar, Chari, Vasan-Kosan etc.Documents / Letters / Documents: Documents, old postcards, correspondence, rent receipts, certificates, leases, mouza maps etc.Folk art: Nakshikantha, Walmat, Shika, bamboo / wood / jute work etc.Liberation War GalleryThe sacrifice of 3 million people for the country, for freedom, for liberation is rare in the history of the world. On the other hand, the atrocities and genocide of the Pak aggressors and their local collaborators Razakar-Albadar are also rare in the history of the world. The memorial of the liberation war Invincible 71 was built in 2012 on the initiative of ESDO. The sculpture Under the steps of the Temple of Liberation has been erected at the ESDO head office as a symbol of recognition of the contribution of the small anthropological communities of the plains to the war of liberation.

Located in Acha village in Thakurgaon district, the Lokayan Life Diversity Museum is an exceptional sight. In this museum, different aspects of folk culture, the equipment used by the working people and the diversity of life have been explored in the museum focusing on the working life of the working people and small ethnic groups. In the twenty-sixth year, Dr. Dr. Bhattarai, in order to present the history and heritage of the millennial Bengali to the new generation, Muhammad Shahid-uz-Zaman founded the Museum of Folklife Diversity.Lokayan Life Diversity Museum There are about 6 different types of fruits and 120 different herbs throughout the huge courtyard of the museum. Initially, it started as a Trinamool Folk Gallery, but later it added small ethnic group galleries, river galleries and liberation war galleries on different subject levels. Here are various elements of ancient and folk traditions used in agriculture, from ancient times to the daily use of working people or ordinary people; Various accessories and histories used in the War of Liberation, vague documents, letters, manuscripts and zamindars written by the British period. For the realization of the receipt of the thing has been saved.The local folklore is full of life-sized museums, with a variety of entertainments for children, including rocks, chairs, lizards, bamboo scaffolds for the visitors to sit on, chairs and tables made from tree trunks. On the other hand, traditional ceremonies such as Barsamangal, Naban and Pitha festivals are organized in the museum premises centered on monsoon, Hemanta and winter. On these occasions, folk songs, poems, songs and indigenous dances were presented in the local folk theater.
