Currency Building

Kolkata (Calcutta)


Home to the Reserve Bank of India until 1937, the stabilised ruins of the once-magnificent Currency Building now houses a small exhibition about the Archaeological Survey of India. There's a small bookshop of the organisation's publications within the building. Walk through to see the now cleaned and stabilised buttress remnants of former domes, that look as though the place had suffered an earthquake or war rather than simple neglect.
