Re-Curating the Money & Banking Gallery

Drawn by Huda Athar

The project is a proposed rearrangement of the Money and Banking Gallery at the National Museum of Pakistan, Karachi. The design reorganizes existing exhibits to improve visitor circulation, visibility, and overall presentation. Historical coins, banknotes, and information are displayed through illuminated wall cases, curved exhibition counters, and a prominent central feature inspired by currency.
