The first usage of money as a form of currency has been traced back to as far back as almost 5,000 years ago. Most of our actions are either affected by or have an effect on the money we have. Whilst it is a vital part of all of our lives, we rarely put any thought into the history behind the money we use.

Let’s take a look into reasons why you should go to the Bank Negara Malaysia Museum.
1. Get to experience printing money
For those of us who have watched money heist, getting the chance to print money has become something we have all thought about, but never got the chance to experience. At Bank Negara Malaysia Museum, you get a chance to experience printing money on your own. This is a truly unique experience (and gives you a comeback to say to your parents if they tell you money doesn’t just grow on trees).
2. Walk through a tunnel of RM1 million
Whilst we often see suitcases of cash on television, seeing a large sum of money in real life is a rare occurence. At the Bank Negara Malaysia Museum, you have the chance to walk through a tunnel made from RM1 million of real money!
3. Every spot is the perfect Instagram backdrop

We can’t lie, almost all of us think about the pictures we get to take before we go anywhere. Bank Negara Malaysia Museum is the perfect place to visit if you want to stock up on cute pictures with an amazing background. There are so many different spots that are perfect to photograph solo, or with you in them.
4. Learn more about money
Money is something that we use on a daily basis yet many of us know so little about the history behind how we came to have the currency we have today. For example, did you know Malaysia used to have a RM1,000 bank note? A trip to the Bank Negara Malaysia Museum is not only a fun and unique experience, but is also an educational experience that we should all have at least once.
5. It’s free!
