The environment around Dhaka's cultural hubs varies from densely urbanized historical zones to newer, greener civic spaces.
* **Air Quality:** Dhaka often experiences poor air quality (high PM2.5 levels), especially during the dry winter months. Visitors are advised to check AQI apps and wear masks if sensitive. * **Green Spaces:** The National Museum is adjacent to Suhrawardy Udyan and Ramna Park, providing vital "green lungs" for the city. * **Sustainability Initiatives:** Newer facilities, like the Liberation War Museum in Agargaon, have been designed with improved natural lighting and energy-efficient climate control systems. * **Water Quality:** Tap water is not safe for drinking; visitors should always opt for purified, bottled, or safely boiled water.
