The neighborhoods housing Dhaka's major museums are primarily institutional and educational, but they are intrinsically linked to the capital's massive economic engines.
* **Major Business Districts:** Motijheel (the traditional financial hub), Gulshan, and Banani (corporate and multinational centers) serve as the economic backbone of the city. * **Local Commerce:** The streets surrounding the museum districts are famous for intellectual commerce, featuring bustling book markets (like Nilkhet), art supply stores, and cultural fashion boutiques at Aziz Super Market. * **Startups:** Dhaka is the startup capital of Bangladesh, with an expanding tech and logistics sector operating out of commercial hubs like Kawran Bazar and Banani.
