See the wall of world banknotes in the Numismatics Gallery. In the Islamic Finance Gallery, get to know the Islamic concept of commerce and finance that started in the Middle East but has now influenced the whole world. Check out the Bank Negara Malaysia Gallery where you’ll see the important roles and responsibilities of the Central Bank of Malaysia. Explore the country’s economic progress in the Economics Gallery. And if you have children, teach them how to save, spend, and share with all the fun educational games available in the Children’s Gallery.
