👍 It’s not very far from Trinity metro station. Parking lot is there too. The building and the garden are so beautiful. The museum is located in 2nd floor, it’s impressive of fully automated system. Good to spend some time, I could see a part of paper currency history of India. Those are all personal...

The museum is located in 2nd floor, it’s impressive of fully automated system. Good to spend some time, I could see a part of paper currency history of India. Those are all personal collections, amazing! They have nice and fun souvenirs as well. Museum charges 100rs for adults each. Photos are not allowed, personal bags and things are supposed to keep in the locker.

    Rs.100 as entry fee. It's located on 2nd floor or prestige building. The museum is made from private collection of Rezwan Razack - a notable currency collector and co-founder (i think) of the prestige construction group. It had Indian notes from all era and also gives introduction in making of notes - from design to printing. It also sells books and keychains as souvenirs. Silent ambiance with AC. Super clean washrooms and helpful staff (gave me a glass of water when asked) but no publically usable drinking water facility).

    The museum is open for visitors now. It is located in one of the premium prestige group buildings. Impressive collection and well-maintained space. It is recommended for anyone interested in knowing more about the history of Indian paper currency. While you are there, you can also walk around the building and the area for some fresh air and a serene atmosphere.

    Great place if you want to know about the history of paper currency in India. The makers have tried thier best to keep the information well organised and in chronological order. The entry costs ₹100 and you can also buy some souvenirs (which seems a bit pricey) including a certificate and shredded pieces of old ₹500 & ₹1000 notes. The duration of the tour may vary depending on your interest, but should take about 30-90 mins. Overall a nice experience.

    Awesome collection. Ample parking. Very informative trivia around the articles displayed. Comprehensive history of indian paper money. You can almost feel the passion behind the collection. Only feedback would be a more varied spread of souvenirs, something for amateur collectors too.

    It was a very good experience. The museum is maintained with utmost care. Entry tickets are 100 per person and free for the kids. They have lots of information on the Indian currency notes. They have been preserved from pre independence till the current time. They have a large lcd screen inside which showcases the information and it's a good learning for all ages. Don't forget to buy the souvenirs available where you will get a note like certificate worth 250. It's a must visit and the building 🏢 is awesome. Very neatly maintained and parking available in between the busy area. parking also costs 100 rupees for the car.

    We visited this museum post 2nd wave of corona. Walkable distance from trinity metro station. Museum entry fee is 100rs per head, strictly no valuables allowed inside including photo clicks. They have felicity to keep our things in locker. This museum is hidden jewel in all Bengaluru museums we visited. Thanks to Rezwan Razack's sir for making it happen for Bengalurians, you get to see all our country original currencies with history behind it. They maintained it very well and explanation for each and everything is much appreciated. One must visit this museum when your in Bengaluru. I recommend management team to promote this museum so that more people will gain knowledge on our currencies. I bought shredded 500rs demonetized note.

    A remarkable place for Numismatists. The gallery is well organised and treasures pieces of History relating to the Indian Rupee and it's evolution. The Gallery Curator/Moderator is such a wonderful person to have a conversation with relating to the pieces on display. Looking forward to visit you guys again. Thank you once again for displaying these for all of us.

    When I discovered this Museum online (by fluke), I had no idea what it'd be like. So, we all went in with no expectations whatsoever. Now, imagine heading out for an evening stroll and spotting a diamond the size of an egg, on the roadside!!! THAT is how this Museum felt when we walked in. The visit starts with a short video, in the voice of Rezwan Razack himself, the story of how this Museum started. At a nominal fee of Rs. 100/head, I was impressed at the quality of things. Once the video is over, the staff will let you explore the place at your own pace. We began from the "coins" section and the history of paper currency in India soon followed. To say that we were fascinated is the understatement of the decade! The collection is rare, well-maintained and perfectly displayed. It was like a walk through the pages of history of India, holding money in our hands. The variety of the collection, the old notes, the drafts, the canceled designs and the fact that British pretty much shaped how we handle money wowed us in more ways than one. I can't imagine the amount of work Mr. Razack must've put in to put the entire collection together but just DON'T MISS IT! It isn't every day that your ancestors speak to you through pages of history, printed as money! It won't take more than 2 hours or so, even if you read every inscription (as we did) and look at everything thoroughly but it'll leave a lasting impression. So, spare those hours and just go! A word: The building (Prestige Falcon Towers) itself is so posh, I'd go in just for the elevator ride 🤣 A neat (and well-earned) 5/5 stars!

    Great place to learn about the history of Indian money through the various periods. Photography isn't allowed so please take that into acoount. The museum is inside the Prestige Towers and you can get the tickets at the reception itself. Overall great learning experience. The souvenir shop is also good. Some of the items might leave you wondering "Why?" but there are a some great ones too. Also there's limited sitting space.

    One of the best places to visit for a numismatist or even anyone to know the history of Indian banknotes. Beautifully organized and meticulously planned to bring out the best from Mr.Rezwan's collections. This is probably the best place to see all the Indian notaphily collections in one go, truly felt like heaven everytime i visit here and will surely visit every other time i get a chance to view those remarkable beauties.

    An absolute must visit for any serious note collector who is interested in Indian currency notes. Even if you are just starting to collect notes, a visit to this place will inspire you as well as educate you. You are not allowed to take photographs inside the museum for obvious reasons, and therefore cannot provide any. The curators and staff are very helpful and knowledgeable.

    One person’s hobby becoming an entire museum! Gosh amazing! The history of notes and currency in India. Got nostalgic when I saw 2paise and 5 paise cause I remember using it as a child! Nice thing to do in a weekend instead of wasting time on phone/TV.

    Simply awesome.....Even Reserve Bank of India may not have preserved the notes exhibited here with essays, trials and patterns.... that too from early 17th or 18th Century

    Visit to Indian Paper Money Museum Bangalore Few days back, I visited Rezwan Razack's Museum of Indian Paper Money Rezwan Razack Sir, is India's Biggest Collector of Indian Banknotes. He opened this Museum in February 2020. It was like a Dream come True for me! Since childhood I had a passion of collecting currency and coins. As I grew older, the passion of collecting developed into a hobby. My achievements have been recognized by various record 📚 Limca Book of Records , India Book of Records , Exclusive World Records Assist World Records It is my sincere wish that my collection will increase further. I also dream of opening a museum to house my collection. This visit has further given weightage to my dreams. In the year 2017, I also had an honor of meeting Rezwan Razack sir, personally. I had discussed my Numismatic passion with him and he encouraged me a lot. Rezwan sir is an example and an inspiration to all. He is a businessman and does not compromise on his passion. We need to learn from him. The Museum is a must visit #numismatic #indianpapermoney #coins #collections #hobbies #museum #indiannotes #currency

    I had a great experience , but I saw something that was very shameful on a part of a Muslim , there was a HOLY QURAN placed open, (which is not permissible). It should also be kept at a higher platform , being a MUSLIM you should know these basic rules in ISLAM

  • 5/5 G Bindu R. 1 year ago on Google
    Had an amazing experience visiting the Museum of Money. I got to learn so many things about money in different princely states and provinces. It was an eye-opener, a must visit for a curious mind. Only if you have bags it takes extra minutes, photography isn't allowed here.

  • 5/5 Sudhir K. 1 year ago on Google
    Commendable collection of Indian Paper notes since 1867 till date. Housed in the prestigious Falcon Building. They also sell books and merchandise on paper money. You will never ever get to see a collection like this anywhere in India. Its highly debatable, and one can study these notes and the collection. Thanks to Sir Rezwan Razack for bringing such a collection and displaying it. 100 Rs ticket. Museum is housed at the heart of the city.

    Excellent collection, the museum can be boring if one is not interested, more interactive and engaging elements can be added, having individual descriptions for individual items can be looked into, but amazing museum for those interested.

    Impressive collection on Indian currencies! They have displays of RBI issued currencies for Burma and Pakistan, currencies used in Princely states, currencies used inside prisons for POW, and several other fun anecdotes.

  • 4/5 Jothi V. 2 years ago on Google
    No photos allowed, no one else isn’t here with you. Unique experience only if u r a history buff. Otherwise you wil get bored after 15 mins. Entry fee is 100 INR. Won’t be worth for many. But if u want to see 10,000 rs note and many such interesting facts from past. Must visit.
