Money Museum in Frankfurt am Main

The Money Museum of the Deutsche Bundesbank is a unique place for learning and experiencing. In the four large thematic rooms—Cash, Book Money, Monetary Policy, and Global Money—the world of money becomes tangible. Concise exhibits, attractive room designs, and interactive media stations provide answers to many questions about money. The topics are examined from both historical and current perspectives.

In addition, there is a 360° cinema and the opportunity to touch a real gold bar. The exhibition is barrier-free and designed in two languages (German/English). Groups can book guided tours, workshops, and lectures on current topics. Admission is free.

The Frankfurt Museum has been in existence since 1999. It was closed in 2014 for renovations, which cost the Bundesbank 19 million euros. The exhibition finally reopened its doors in December 2016 and has since impressed as a place for learning and experience for all age groups.

Some of the exhibition pieces were already displayed in the Reichsbank Museum in Berlin in 1935. Later, the Reichsbank's collections were confiscated by the Allies. In 1954, they were returned to the predecessor of the Bundesbank, the Bank deutscher Länder.
