A melancholy air hangs over the home in which General Aung San lived with his family for just over two years before he was assassinated in July 1947.
Daw Kin Kyi, his widow, and three children, including Aung San Suu Kyi, stayed on until 1953 when their second son Lin drowned in the pond in the colonial mansion's grounds.
You'll have to work hard to imagine what life was like inside the house, which is sparsely furnished and has old family photos and a few personal possessions.
