St Gregory’s High School in Old Dhaka will open the Gregorian Museum on 20 November 2026 to preserve historical documents, photographs, artefacts and memorabilia from its 144-year history.

The Gregorian Society (TGS), the school’s official alum body, announced the opening at a press event at Dhaka Club on 13 November, according to the press release. The school and the society will jointly inaugurate the museum, which occupies the fifth floor of the main building in Luxmibazar.

Established in 1882 during British rule, St Gregory’s has educated generations of students. The museum will trace its development and highlight the achievements of former students in Bangladesh and abroad.

TGS President Grn Yousuf Rahman proposed the museum, and Principal Brother Placid Peter Rebeiro, CSC set aside space for it. The society launched a crowdfunding campaign on 24 August, 2025, through its official Facebook page and the Gregorian Facebook group.

The Museum Design and Execution Committee oversaw the design and construction. A brick-laying ceremony took place on 14 November, 2025, and the old site was cleared on 28 December to make way for construction, with a team of former students collecting and organising documents, photographs, souvenirs and other items for display.

The school and the society formalised their partnership through a memorandum of understanding on 14 August, 2026, setting out how the museum would be managed. TGS Vice-President Grn Rizwan Khair and Principal Bro Prodip Placid Rebeiro CSC signed on behalf of their respective institutions.

The museum will serve as a permanent archive where students, alums, and visitors can learn about the school’s history and the experiences of generations of Gregorians.
