Original available by appointment only, the Bank of England Museum decided to "throw its doors open" to the general public, in preparation for the bank's tercentenary in 1994. A fire at the bank building forced a change of plans in 1986. Instead of opening in 1994, it decided to go ahead design the exhibits, which were completed in 18 months. The Bank of England Museum was opened to the public by Queen Elizabeth II in 1988.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
