Martyr’s Mausoleum

The Marty’s Mausoleum was built in 1982. Bogyoke Aung San Mausoleum was initially designed by the RIT alumni and architect U Sun Oo in 1982. After serval changes made by the military regime, it was finally built-in 1982. After more than 20 years of restricted access, the mausoleum opened to the public again in 2013. This is where the victims of the 19th July 1947 assassination in the Secretariat, including General Aung San, are entombed and commemorated. A previous mausoleum to honour the victims of the 1947 assassination was erected in the early 1960s on a nearby site. In 1982, architects all over Myanmar were invited to submit designs for a new commemorative structure. At the architecture faculty of the Institute of Technology at the time, U Sun Oo submitted a design on behalf of the school. The design’s main idea was to create an informal covered space for ordinary Burmese to pay respect to their heroes while at the same time learning about the recent history of the country.
