A beautiful example of Indo-Saracenic architecture built in 1904, combining Mughal arches and decorative brickwork with an English country house roofline. It now houses the science faculty of the University of Dhaka. The building is named after the Viceroy Lord Curzon who laid the foundation stone, though construction was completed well after his departure.
The exterior is the main draw — particularly the north and south facades with their layered arched galleries — and can be appreciated from the street or the adjacent grounds. The university campus around it has a pleasant, slightly worn quality and is a good place to observe Dhaka student life.
