Highly...

The best museum experience in Karachi and a must visit place. You should allocate at least 1.5 hours to visit this place in detail. There was not a single thing wrong about the visit. The place is super clean, the staff are extremely courteous and very knowledgeable. We went without booking a guide but all staff present made sure they gave us detailed information about all items at display. The ground floor provides a detailed historic perspective of the currencies and banking of the world as well as Pakistan’s own setup. They have a very well curated pictorial display of State Bank of Pakistan’s development. They have original ledgers on display as well. They have various screens displaying highly informative historic facts. The first floor has an art gallery with amazing displays of murals by Saddeqain. The souvenir shop has good items at decent prices. You can park your cars inside the State Bank building but must enter at least one hour before the closing time. Entry of cars is from Gate 7 only which is on the side road before the building starts. Highly recommended...
