Bank Indonesia Museum

The Bank Indonesia Museum is a financial institution museum located in central Surabaya housed in a three-story building with Neo-Renaissance architecture and Javanese decorative details. The collection includes historical currencies, banking machinery, and documents that trace the country's economic history.

The building was constructed in 1918 as De Javasche Bank during Dutch colonial rule and later served as a Bank Indonesia branch. The structure witnessed Indonesia's economic shifts and was eventually transformed into a museum to document this banking legacy.

The museum preserves Indonesian financial traditions through displays of historical currencies and banking equipment that show how the country developed its economic systems. Visitors can see how these materials reflect the nation's economic identity and growth.

The museum is located in the downtown area and is easily reached on foot from nearby public spaces. Visitors should allow time to explore all three floors to see the different exhibition sections throughout the building.

Three specialized exhibition rooms display collections of old Indonesian currencies and original materials salvaged during restoration work. These spaces allow visitors to see firsthand how the building was preserved over time.
