Bank Negara Malaysia Museum: is it worth going, what to see about money, and how to get there

Description and is it worth visiting

Bank Negara Malaysia Museum and Art Gallery is a large free museum dedicated to the activities of the central bank and the local currency, essentially a money museum. The exhibition here is large and spans several floors — from the history of money to a collection of banknotes from around the world. Additionally, on one of the floors, there is an art gallery with works by Malaysian and Southeast Asian artists. It feels more like a pleasant addition, since the museum's main theme is still finance. Nevertheless, the exhibition is extensive, and you won't even notice how an hour or two flies by.

We found the museum interesting. It's not a must-see attraction, but if you've already seen the main sights and want some variety, it's definitely worth a visit. Moreover, unlike many paid museums, you don't need to worry about whether the money spent is justified — entry is completely free, which is a huge plus. In our opinion, it's one of those places that pleasantly surprises you when you have a free day.
