Old Bank Indonesia Building, Padang

The Old Bank Indonesia Building features colonial architecture with large windows, symmetrical design, and white-painted facades characteristic of early 20th-century structures.

Built in 1921 as De Javasche Bank's Padang branch, the building marked the third banking establishment in the Netherlands Indies and first outside Java.

The museum displays exhibits about Indonesian banking evolution, regional economic development, and financial instruments through different historical periods.

Located on Jalan Batang Arau Number 66 in Berok Nipah district, the museum maintains regular visiting hours and requires advance booking for group tours.

The building survived multiple earthquakes and maintained its original architectural elements, including the bank vault and period-specific interior decorations.
