The Hungarian Money Museum and Visitor Centre, established by the Magyar Nemzeti Bank, was created to help you find your way around the world of money. We do not deny that this world hides many dead ends, sometimes complete labyrinths, which is why we consider it important to experience the greater excitement within the walls of the museum, and not in our own real lives. The exhibition space contains many experiences and adventures, all of which help the visitor to get to know new aspects of the circulation and use of money.
Our mission is to prove that anyone can understand how the money works. This knowledge is essential in individual, family and community life, which is why we believe that knowledge about the use of currencies can make our whole society richer, both literally and metaphorically.
Opening hours: 16:00-24:00
Please note, that every programme in the Money Museum is for free, therefore the ’Night of the Museums’ ticket cannot be purchased on site.
