Well managed, the interior is new and have kind of story-telling route. Most importantly, you won't get hot here.

A nice surprise, a well laid out museum in an interesting building - bit of stuff about the bank bit and money as expected but also about the Dutch settlement through to the Asian Financial Crisis. Interesting

The building itself is worth a visit. No entrance fee, just leave your belongings at the entrance. Start with video presentation on the history of currency. Then go through informative dioramas on the history of Bank Indonesia and Indonesia's economy in general. View currencies from days gone by.
