Assume and interesting place

This museum is simply awesome. Too many coins aor ancient ages. Great art work. Guide is very nice.

Nice historical memories, State bank kept and maintained em very nicely.

It was a great time walking through every gallery I really felt nostalgic, the guide person was awesome full of historical information I gained good knowledge

Very beautiful ... Jaw dropping first governors office btw

Its a great experience to visit such a beautiful place its mesmerising building take you to the past and remind you of colonial era so you dont want to leave the place I just loved it.

An amazing experience in learning about the art, history and evolution of currency and postage in Pakistan. The Sadequain Gallery inside is a must go, with a display of his intricately detailed works of art.

Walking through the halls of State Bank Museum is like traversing through thousands of years of rich history of currencies and their evolution into the modern money. A well-maintained public display thats definitely worth a visit at least once a lifetime. Highly recommended.

Really loved the place .. the staff was very generous , treated us really well.. hats off to the state bank of Pakistan.Plus do visit the SOUVENIR SHOP , it got alot of beautiful stuff to buy .. the guy Simon will guide you well inside the shop and secondly its really cheap since its not profitable..

One of the best museum in Pakistan. Well maintained with lots of history. Sadeqain Gallery is amazing and full of some great are work. This place has no entry free and is free to everyone. Museum also has a gift shop. Downstairs is filled with amazing history of notes and currencies of Pakistan, and the Moghul days. You will also find first rupee printing machine, prize bond lottery machine and first pakistani atm machine here.

There is a comprehensive collection of seals and currency used in the states that influence the history of the subcontinent in short Namely the rare reserves of the civilization of the subcontinent as well as found comprehensive knowledge of Pakistans economy and the currencys variability. the most important thing is that the Sadiquains Art work done in its gallery is most excellent conditionand also a separate room chosen by the administration for contemporary art.Which is an exciting thing for current artists.

Amazing and interactive way to learn about history or money and current currency. A very good place to take your kids and familyThey also have a sadeqain art gallery with amazing art work from the legend himself

Awesome experience.if you want to teach your kids about Money or concepts or history of money then best place to visit.A good place for school for feild trip.

Very clean and well managed. Unfortunately I was the only visitor when I visited the museum. Very good activity for kids to understand history and importance of money. The museum have reasonable collection of old coins but collection of current foreign currencies needs an update.

Admission is free here and I must say the whole building is well maintained and it met the international standards.I was given a great tour and enjoyed very much in the art gallery.This is the only good museum in Pakistan but I would have appreciated it if they had hung a bigger sign at the parking.All in all;it was great!

Very very informative place.. There is free entry for everyone just bring ur c. N. I. C there for entry and u can explore the whole new experience inside. Highly recommended.

Highly recommend, the place has something for the people of all ages, Informative and interesting, soviner shop is just amazing!

A beautifully curated place with amazing friendly staff who guides you through history of coins and currency. Priceless collection they have. Salue to the team managing all this

It is a great place its museum is very good

The building is very old but extremely well maintained. We went as a group and the staff gave us a free guided tour. The guides were very patient and knowledgeable.If one likes to visit museums then spare at least half a day when planning to visit.

Classic and quiet museum. Recommended for school trips. Theyve a vintage souvenir shop inside the museum and meaningful games for children.You will also find artworks by Sadequain here.

They described everything in very detailed. and history save there.

Amazing display of monetary history of Pakistan since inception of Indus Civilization

Beautifully crafted museum with rich exquisite attention to detail. They have kept the history of money in Pakistan (& pre-Pakistan era) in an excellent manner.#statebankofpakistan #museum #karachi #pakistan

Before entering the museum I though I would find lot of old coins, currency notes etc. Well, these things were there but the most pleasant surprise was the art gallery that contained a very impressive collection of Sadiqain paintings, specially the huge murals. The collection also included the last sketch that Sadiqain drew when he was on the death bed.Its not a huge museum per se but contains lot of valuable and historic things. Worth a visit.

A nice place to explore history of currency.

Hard to enter but good place for history lovers

Excellent place

I was pretty impressed by the museum. It was generally well-curated for a Pakistani museum. The have a pretty elaborate collection. We took our time going through the collection, and it took us about 2 hours to go through each section of the museum. We were greeted by a tour guide, Asad, who stayed close-by the entire time to answer any questions we had.It was surprisingly empty. During the two hours that we were there, we only saw one other person who seemed to be just strolling through. The management even seemed surprised to see us!

Must go place with your kids to have a lot information and fun

It was a fantastic experience visiting The State Bank Museum. The tour guide was thorough and took is all through the museum and a walk through history. We were showed the barter seeds etc used before currency was invented, currency that was used for the first time ever to date. The art collection is also worth seeing. Hidden in the museum us the infamous Sadequains mural. The shop has interesting souvenirs.

It was very interesting and people should go with their families!

The museum provides a historical perspective to coinage and the evolution of money and banking in sub continent. A must visit for people of all ages.

Wow what a museum, while visiting one cant even imagine that he is in Pakistan. Bravo madam Asma Ibrahim you have done a great job for showcasing the history of our currency. Inshallah will visit again n again.

It has such a good canteen.

I have visited this place, this place have wonderful collection of history on currency and banking. One can buy soveniours from the museum shop

Very cool place. The building is lovely and the ceiling is simply gorgeous. The coin and stamp collections are impressive! Its a joy to look at Sadequains murals on the first floor. Having tour guides is a nice touch. Overall, its quite an organised and well-maintained museum MashAllah.Do take your NIC or atleast college ID card (if youre a student). Entry is through State Banks gates and, though free, the guard asks to see some ID.

Best currency museum in Pakistan

Best Museum so far i have seen and amazing part was currency gallery.I would recommend others to visit there and hope that it will boost your knowledge

The rationale of the establishment of SBP Museum is to introduce first Money Museum of Pakistan. The Main objectives of the Museum are to (i) preserve our cultural heritage that exists in the form of the old SBP Building and the acquisitions we have made over time; (ii) provide an opportunity to the general public and especially the younger generation to learn about SBPs history, money and coins, monetary policy and its evolving role over time; (iii) encourage the development of artistic talent in
