About

Proudly situated within the impressive walls of the Bank of England, this fascinating Museum takes you through the history of the Bank since its foundation in 1694 to its current role at the centre of the economy. The Museum hosts a range of exhibits, interactive displays and artefacts to help explain its many and varied roles. The historical displays include the Bank's own collections of documents, paintings, banknotes, coins and photographs. Also on display, a genuine gold bar which can be held, although its weight - a remarkable 13 Kilos will take many people by surprise!
