MoreOne of the most memorable places for us, in Myanmar.
Not that big but can learn more about general Aung San.
The greatest father of Myanmar lived here. We never forget his strives, love to the people.
MoreIts a cool house, but quite small as far as museums go. 5000 MMK is also a fairly high foreigner entrance fee for the size.
MoreHistorical place and great memory of myanmar people national hero
This place is a historical place of General Aung San who look like a father of independent.
MoreAn interesting peek into the short but full life of one of the most revered national heroes. You need not more than hour for it.

MoreA must visit in Yangon .Very well maintained .So many memories of the man who fought for the freedom of Myanmar .The tribute by the people by preserving all his memories makes one really nostalgic .Complete info on this truly great icon is found here .We not only are informed but are full of respect for this great personality who did so much for his country in his short but meaningful life .Life cannot be counted and worthy for the no.of years you live but by what you contribute for your nation .A true hero .Sadly he lived for a very short period .
MoreLast year, I went to this museum with my friends. Like a school trip. I thought its really amazing for us because I have never been there. I think if you are Myanmar, you have to go this place. But not must. You can go there on Martyrs day or something like that. Sorry if my English is wrong because Im still learning.😀
MoreCome here if you have more time, not necessarily a must-see. However, its surreal to be standing in the residence of Myanmmars national hero, Aung San. There are no guides here, though most of the exhibits have some English excerpts.
MoreNot really big museum. Nice if your around in that region but not really a "must see"
MoreWe can rediscover something which has happend in past.
I have visited Bogyoke Aung San Museum today and it was really awesome experience visiting there. It was such a precious memory and I really enjoyed it. The museum is closed on Monday and gazetted days. So, we can visit there except that days from 9:30 a.m to 4:30 p.m. Entrance fees are free to Myanmar people and 5000 kyats for tourists.
MoreReally good to see Bogyoke Museum.
Price is a little steep to get in 5000ks pp. Information about Aung Sans life is sparse which is a shame
MoreGeneral AungSan(Bogyoke Aung San)is heart of myanmar people especially for Burmese.It is General AungSan lived when he alive,you should visit to that home and I recommend that after visit,you will know some of information of Myanmars political history and other knowledge.
MoreThis is amazing and can give sadness. I got both when i got there. It is the place which should try to go if u want to see about our general Aung San who was our independence father.
MoreNothing much to see and learn here. But the people there in the museum are really kind and helpful.
MoreIn this museum ,our national leader General Aung Sans biography and historicals are shown ,..General Aung San is also known as "father of independence of Myanmar´´.He tried to get back the indepedence of Myanmar against British goverment.
MoreThis Museum is the home of General Aung San,Burma(MyanmarIndependent leader.It shows his family photos, their living style and the books that he read.
MoreInteresting display detailing some of Myanmar/Burma history in an easy to understand format.
MoreMuseum visitors should keep their voice low inorder not to disturb other visitors.Museum authorities could have been strict with Silence Rule.
MoreWas hoping for more history, but only for plates and attire. Still, its a cool place to visit as its near all the temples.
MoreNice building. Enough text to learn the basics of General Aung San, Father of country and Aung San An hour or less to see & read it all Near park & horticulture market & Ag Museum
MoreGreat leader General Aung San liveth with so simple life at this house to show his sincerity to Myanmar people and his loveth to country.
MoreYou shouldnt miss this place if youre interested in one of the greatest leader of Myanmar.
MoreThis place is not forgetable for everyone in Myanmar. It can be said if one does not visit it, one will not see the heart of our General. But most of people in Yangon have not been there and some (including with taxi driver at Yangon airportdo not know even where this place is situated.
MoreExcellent... Piece of history...
Just a house w it’s existing placement of furnitures. Not much of info on the history. I wish there was more
MoreNot worth it for foreigners to visit the place. They charged 5,000 kyats on the entrance fee, yet the interior is lack of maintenance, the introduction of the General Aung San and also the guidance of the entire museum is very rough as well. If you are an non-Burmese citizen, you will definitely feel regret on paying 5,000 for this visit.
MoreGood place to understand the history, but quite small and in fact the family stayed there for only two years.
MoreNot big enough to justify spending 5000kyat. The Museum was interesting, but was only 4 rooms which took all of 15 mins to explore.
MoreExpensive at 5000 kyats per person but an interesting place to visit. Exhibits have English descriptions and its close to several interesting pagodas and monasteries.
MoreA surreally weird experience. This place is amazing. Not a bad hagiography for a key founder of a complicated nation.
MoreIt’s the old residential house of General Aung San. Used items, furniture, books and of course photos. However, many descriptions were in Burmese. It’s a good-to-go place to understand more about how the modern and democratic Burma began. The location is a little secluded, just take a grab there.
MoreGeneral Aung San, Myanmar famous leader, who live there before his assassination in 19th July 1947. And also lived Daw Aung San Su Kyi, Nobel Prize winner. The museum exhibits life story, clothes, books of Aung San family, famous speeches, notes and quotes of General Aung San.
MoreThe Bogyoke Aung San Museum , located in Bahan, Yangon, is a museum dedicated to General Aung San, the founder of modern Myanmar (Burma). Established in 1962, the two-story museum was Aung Sans last residence before his assassination in July 1947. It is a colonial-era villa, built in 1921, where his daughter Aung San Suu Kyi grew up as a child. The museum, with its focus on Gen. Aung Sans short adult life, is complementary to the Bogyoke Aung San Residence Museum in Natmauk, 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 generals car.Established1962Location15 Bogyoke Aung San Lane, Bahan, Yangon, Myanmar16°48′13.82″N96°9′48.20″EFor many years, the museum was opened only for three hours each year– on the Martyrs Day of 19 July, from 9 am to 4 pm. The restriction is in line with the current military governments 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.The museum is listed on the Yangon City Heritage List.
MoreThe place has both historical and present significance. Historical - because it had been the place where the family of General Aung San (Father of Myanmarand his daughter the present State Counsellor of Myanmar and noble peace laureate Aung San Suu Kyi had lived. The house is very beautiful and attractive. It is constructed at small hillock. Inside the house, the statue of Aung San which really looks like a living one has been kept, you may like to talk with him. It is so amazing to see with your own eyes the place where great people has lived their live, shared their thoughts, dine together so on and so forth.It is a good place for researcher too. The overcoat presented to General Aung San by great Indian leader Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru has been kept there, and numbers of biography of General Aung San, Su Kyi and other valuable books are available there.
MoreGeneral Aung San is the not only our National hero who fought for the independent but Aung San Su Kyi s father who is still leading to become a successful Democratic country in Myanmar as well. You can see the photos; the written notes by him and the rooms that they lived in the museum which used to be his home before he died.
MoreInteresting home, some personal artifacts including his car. If one is interested in exploring the recent history of Myanmar this is a must see. It is off the main road so find a guide if you dont speak or read Burmese.
MoreMemorial place for Burmese people in case remembrance of Myanmar Independence leader, General Aung San.
MoreInteresting place. Not too much there but very evocative.
The museum celebrates the life and times of General Aung San. It is quite small and can be visited in under an hour. It is housed in a charming colonial building, the last home the famed political leader lived in before his assassination. A young Aung San Suu Kyi, the generals daughter and herself a prominent political personality, figures in a lot of the photos on display.For its size, the museum charges a steep fee of 5,000 kyats (about 4 USD), the same amount charged at the huge National Museum not far away.
MoreNice, small museum. But entrance fee of 5000 kyats is steep. In the old photo on web, it used to be 500 kyats.
