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!
