The Curator Team from the Museum of Humanity Visited RCMC

Cox’s Bazar, 2-4 February 2025: From February 2 to 4, the curator team from the Museum of Humanity in the Netherlands visited the Rohingya Cultural Memory Centre in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh. During the visit, they engaged with the Rohingya community and explored its rich history and heritage through music, arts, and culture.

The Rohingya artisans at the RCMC have curated a collection of over 1,500 cultural artifacts and regularly organize cultural activities. These initiatives play a vital role in preserving and promoting Rohingya cultural heritage while fostering mental health and psychosocial well-being within the community.

The RCMC is a unique community-based Mental Health and Psychosocial Support Services (MHPSS) project of the International Organization for Migration (IOM), aimed at preserving Rohingya cultural heritage through storytelling, heritage skills transfer, and art. This centre is based in the world’s largest refugee camp in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, and has been in operation since 2022.
