A Renaissance in Colonial Grandeur

In Kolkata's bustling B.B.D. Bagh, discover the magnificently restored Currency Building - a stunning blend of colonial grandeur and contemporary culture. Built in 1833, this remarkable three-story Italianate structure has witnessed the evolution of India's financial history, from its beginnings as the Calcutta branch of the Agra Bank to serving as the first central office of the Reserve Bank of India. Marvel at its architectural splendour, from floors adorned with marble and Chunar sandstone to the distinctive three-part wrought iron gate and elegant Venetian windows. Be amazed by the fascinating underground canal connected to the Hooghly River, once used to cool newly minted coins. Today, this masterfully restored landmark serves as a vibrant cultural centre, hosting significant exhibitions like "Ghare Baire | The World, The Home and Beyond," which showcases Bengal's rich artistic heritage. The building's central hall, now an atmospheric open-air courtyard, perfectly balances historical charm with modern amenities, making it a must-visit destination for history enthusiasts and art lovers alike.
