Opened in 2008 by the Zila Parishad, this two-storey complex commemorates Sepoy Mohammad Mostafa Kamal, one of the seven recipients of Bangladesh's highest military decoration for valour. Located in Kamalnagar where the martyr's family settled after his ancestral village was eroded by the Meghna, the gallery displays photographs, personal letters, battle maps, and historical artifacts from the 1971 war. An adjoining library provides historical texts on the independence struggle. It is closed on public holidays.
