If you came all the way to Burma, surely you must have some interest in its history. Well, then you need to visit this museum about the "father" of modern day Burma. Most people today know about...

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 general's 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.

A 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 .

The place has both historical and present significance. Historical - because it had been the place where the family of General Aung San (Father of Myanmar) and 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.
