Why go
The National Museum of Myanmar offers a broad account of the country’s past, while Bogyoke Aung San Museum narrows the focus to one figure and his family home. Myanmar Motion Picture Museum covers film craft, and Myanmar’s Gems Museum concerns stones and trade. These are separate subjects across the city; confirm current location and public access before making any specialist museum the centre of a day.
