What Niyamul saying about this place:
The folk art museum consists of ancient artifacts upto 18th century. We found the wooden bed, palki and storage trunks interesting. I wish the artifacts were displayed in a better way, as many of them were covered with dust. The entry fee is really minimum (30 tk).

As the capital of the fifteenth-century Bengal ruler Isa Khan, the city was once an important trading and political center. Although the buildings are now mostly in ruins, the historical city boasts architectural examples from the Sultanate, Mughal, and British Colonial periods.
EditAfter the Mughal conquest of Sonargaon in 1610, the Panam area was connected with the ruling metropolis by constructing highways and bridges, which still exist. Thus established the new township of Panam Nagar (Panam City).
EditThere are 31 buildings in the north side of Panam Street and 21 in the south of it. Each building has a different style. The uniqueness can be seen in the fine architecture. Along with Mughal and Greek architecture, the colour and design of the buildings display techniques by the local artists.
EditIt is estimated that there were about 1400 families of Hindu and Muslim weavers in and around Panam. At that time, the British East India Company established its factory in Panam to purchase muslin and other cotton fabrics.
EditYou can get into a direct bus heading to Narayanganj from Gulistan in the capital, Dhaka. It will drop you at Mograpara point near Sonargaon mosque. This journey can take approximately 1 hour 30 minutes. From there, you can hire a battery-driven auto-rickshaw which will take you to Panam Nagar within 10 minutes.
EditWhat is known is that what's left of Panam Nagar has been left derelict for decades, and locals have nicknamed it “Ghost City” and “City of the Dead.” Only 52 of the city's original buildings are still standing. Most are two-story structures, standing one attached to the other along the main thoroughfare.
EditThe Complex works from Tuesday to Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. It remains closed on Sundays and public holidays.
EditThe ticket price is 20 Tk for Bangladeshi citizens and 100 Tk for foreigners.

Panam City is the heritage house of erstwhile landlords and businessmen. It will offer you with a stunning old architecture, although the buildings are no longer safe enough to step into, but they do look beautiful from outside. This place will satisfy you by being historically pleasing.

Panam Nagar is one of the most visited tourist spots of Bangladesh. It gave us a taste of antiquity while we were visiting it. It felt like it opened a window of ancient times. This place totally exceeded our expectations. Beautiful street of old abandoned houses caught our eyes. It appears to be a bit eerie but in a beautiful way.

We visited this beautiful place a quite while ago. The old building facades are spectacular and gives a vibe of antiquity. Nature taking over some of the houses adds to the majestic appearances of the buildings. We could take entry to one of the safer buildings and took some aesthetic photos. The rich architecture and interiors show the grandeur of that time.
