This is The Reserve Bank of India Museum. Money is an intrinsic component of the cultural heritage of a country mirroring its socio-economic history. India was one of the earliest issuers of coinage in the world and has been home to many-a-monetary experiment recorded in history.The Museum will immerse you in a one-of-a-kind experience that explains the money, its role in the economy and your role in it, in a fun and interactive way.You can also explore how money has evolved over the centuries, how and why gold still holds an important place in our society and also about the genesis of RBI.The RBI Monetary Museum aims at documenting and preserving this heritage. The Museum proposes to put in place permanent, temporary and itinerant exhibits of the representative coinage of India, paper currency, gold bars as well as financial instruments and curiosities down the ages.

Entry is free. Very informative and nice decor, all staffs are very welcoming. Though a very quite place as it is very less known. One can get complete information about the history of currency from the very first beginning. The first floor section was under renovation so couldn't be able to visit that part, would love to go their and explore more.

Established in 1935, the Reserve Bank of India started operating from this building.nBuilt by Martin & Burn, the same company that built the Victoria Memorial & the Ochterlony Memorial.nEntry is free and the museum opens promptly at 10 A.M. They make you store any bags and water bottles once inside.nEverything is on the ground level so not an issue for people with reduced mobility.nThe displays are very informative from the history of currency displayed and described from the ancient world down to today.nThey've a number of interactive options to have fun and learn from. You can weigh yourself on a scale and get your body weight in terms of gold bullion.nMy favourite was the option of trying to lift a faux gold bar. Gives you an idea how gold being a dense metal is almost thrice as heavy as anything similar made of iron.nA must when in Kolkata and even for locals too.
