Rezwan Razack’s Museum of Indian Paper Money — Attraction in Bengaluru

One of the finest museums I have ever seen in india 💯

It is a museum about the history of paper money in india. It's the personal collection of the co-founder of prestige company-rezwan razack and is situated inside prestige tower itself. The collection is very vast with the money being used during British rule and independent india , being prominently displayed along with letters , albums all relating to the use and propagation of paper money .

It also has a unique display of fake money used in the james bond film octopussy. And if you could spot out , there's a letter from the erstwhile king of England explaining that the drawing been made to put into the currency note looks like asif he is wearing a bathrobe , that's a tiny detail i liked😂

-photography is not allowed inside the museum ....The museum is one floor wide and is not too big but the way it is displayed and the amount of information for visitors to read is vast enough.

-we spent around 1 hour to 1 hour 15 mins reading each and every information board given , till we felt exhausted.

-it's a must for bangloreans and tourists who have a free Sunday, to visit this place as it is soo underrated, there was only one other visitor along with us .... if you are not that interested in reading too much and in general aren't nerdy or get bored in museums , this place Might not be for you. But nonethless it's interesting to just see how much history does our currency have.

-The museum is inside the prestige towers. In the lobby , we need to update our phone number and other details to get otp and further a QRcode which is needed to enter and exit into the elevators. The staff there were kind enough to have helped us all throughout. Once you reach the 2nd floor , tickets are to be bought from the front desk there , costing 100₹/- per person. Futher they will guide you inside to a televised video wherein rezwan razack themselves would be explaining about the museum which i feel is soo modern.

-i don't think children of very very young age would be that entertained .... teens and children who are tad-bit older and able to understand the concept, might benefit from this museum as there's not any physically interactive content but rather more of reading and observing ones ...

-souvenirs are also available.

-overall , it's one of the best museums in banglore. Very vast in it's...

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...

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.
