This Museum is one of the best laid out Monetary Museum anywhere in India. It provides the rich heritage of money in Ancient, Colonial and Modern India. Had photography been allowed it would have been great for an exposure and awareness building.

Recently got to know about this museum. Decided to see something in this part of the city. Wasn’t a usual tourist destination, we loved the thought behind the museum and how carefully everything has been curated. The lights, revolving display, floor arrows etc. behind the museum and how carefully everything has been curated. The lights, revolving display, floor arrows etc. A nice place to get your kids to get them interested in finance and economic literacy. Would definitely recommend to others. Request you to put chairs/seating as it was quite a long walk in a cute little museum.

Excellent such a valuable information and that also free, instead of going to Amusement Park, school and college should prefer for such visits. Like to suggest Signature of Governor on their picture will have more impact.
