The Ganabhaban (Bengali: গণভবন, lit.'People's House') located in Sher-e-Bangla Nagar, Dhaka, north of the National Parliament House, served as the official residence of the Prime Minister of Bangladesh until the resignation of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.[1] In the aftermath of the Student–People's uprising in July 2024, the residence is undergoing transformation into a museum, to be named the July Uprising Memorial Museum.[2][3][4][5]
