Curzon Hall is a historic building in Dhaka, Bangladesh, originally constructed in 1904 as a town hall and later becoming part of the University of Dhaka's Faculty of Sciences. Named after Lord Curzon, the Viceroy of India, it showcases a unique blend of European and Mughal architectural styles. The building played a significant role during the Bengali language movement, serving as a hub for student protests against the imposition of Urdu as the sole state language.
