Sasana Kijang, this is one of the few places I feel at home, I guess it is because it's a building housing a lot of our Malaysia numismatic collection.
Sasana Kijang was officially opened by the Prime Minister of Malaysia, YAB Datuk Seri Mohd Najib Tun Abdul Razak on September 14, 2011. The building houses the International Islamic Financial Services Board (IFSB), South East Asian Central Banks (SEACEN) research and training center. training, office, and conference hall with a total area of 1.09 million square feet. It also houses the National Bank's Information Management Center as well as the Museum and Art Gallery.
The word 'Sasana' comes from the Sanskrit language which means the location, center, building, or arena where the community gathers for meetings, while Kijang is the logo of Bank Negara Malaysia.
Here is their address if you ever want to visit it.

Visit time: 10 am-6pm. Everyday including Saturday & Sunday.

Sasana Kijang is close to the Tunku Abdul Rahman memorial and not far from the Bank Negara Malaysia headquarters building.
There are six galleries in Sasana Kijang:
1. Children's Gallery
2. Numismatic Gallery
3. BNM Gallery

When I go there, I always handout at the numismatic gallery. While I am there, I sometimes share with the visitor I came across the story on some of the banknotes.
This seems like a great place. I hope to see more about this place, specially the art gallery :) thanks for sharing 👍
