Located in the Business district of Karachi, it is the only museum of its kind in Pakistan that offers an insight to creation of money, its printing, circulation, regulation of Pakistani Currency - the Rupee. It has in its display all notes that are or were in circulation including a vast collection of current and historic coins. History of the central Bank, pictures of its inauguration, speeches of the Quaid, original treaties, documents, manuscripts, details of Governors, and historical desks, rooms and artefacts including an original gold weighing scale, note sorter, etc are on display Commemorative coins issued by the State Bank are also on display. A separate section on stamps and original collection of the famous calligraphist Sadequain, who in early days worked for State bank are also on display in different galleries. A souvenir shop sells replicas of artefacts too. The building itself is impressive that was built before the creation of Pakistan and housed the Imperial Bank of India. It is a grotesque structure made in pink Jaisalmeer stone that was brought in from Rajasthan. It has a grand entrace and is open to all. A lot of students visit the place where they have conducted tours too. Though the building is located on the mani Chundrigar Road with large D shaped garden and grand driveway but entrance is from a security gate on the side Mumtaz Hasan Road.

Get in the museum and fell yourself a part of PAF history. I am so proud that i was here. This museum will make you proud as a Pakistani. You will get in touch with history of PAF since its existence. And i was able to visit Air craft which remained in use of QUAID-E-AZAM. It is a place worth visiting.

We never knew that there are many museums in Karachi and in all the museums we never knew that there is one museum named a National museum of Pakistan situated in Karachi which give you the glimpse of the history with the help of the things that one could never think about. At our first visit we explore so many things, it was a huge experience we got from there and lots of information about the Mughal Dynasty, Gandhara civilization, culture of all the provinces in Pakistan sum up in one gallery and yes things during or before the partition of Pakistan and yes calligraphy of Quranic Literature. It was a WOW experience for us. If anyone wants to see that place with a proper guide. Anyone can contact JALEBI EXPRESS and can book a tour without thinking so much about the experience.
