Bangladesh Bank Taka Museum (Bengali: বাংলাদেশ ব্যাংক টাকা জাদুঘর) is a numismatic museum in Dhaka, Bangladesh run by Bangladesh Bank.[1][2] The museum displays the history of currency in Bangladesh from the ancient times to the present. It also displays currencies of different countries of the world.
The predecessor to the Taka Museum was established in 2009 in the main building of Bangladesh Bank at Motijheel in Dhaka, Bangladesh, but it was not open to the general public.[1][3] The Taka Museum, located in the Bangladesh Bank Training Academy in Mirpur, Dhaka, was inaugurated on 5 October 2013 by Shirin Sharmin Chaudhury.[2][4][5][6]
