The museum occupies the ground floor of a more than a century old heritage building from where the Reserve Bank of India started functioning after its formation in 1935. Before entering the main museum, pause at the reception area (which also has a souvenir shop) to take a look at the artistic decorations made from old, out-of-circulation coins, and shredded currency notes. Through infographics, old artefacts and machineries, photographs, dioramas and interactive displays, the main museum talks about the evolution of money, the history of banking in India, the role of the RBI, the stalwarts of the Indian banking system, the exchanges, etc. There are also interactive games for children to learn about saving money and investing. At the end of the guided tour, you will be given a certificate with your name printed on it, the printing done on an old machine that earlier used to print bonds issued by the government.
