MoneyMuseum

The MoneyMuseum in Zurich, Switzerland, is a space for dialogue about money rather than a traditional museum. It explores money from historical, literary, philosophical, psychological, and economic perspectives, asking what money does to us and what we do with it. The exhibitions trace the history of money from the first minted coins in ancient Greece and Asia Minor to modern currencies, and address the future of money including cryptocurrencies. The museum also hosts changing temporary exhibitions and offers a digital coin collection of over 2000 coins.
