experience MONEY AND MONETARY POLICY
In times of digitalization and virtuality, the real experience has become all the more important. With specific references to the everyday life of visitors, the new permanent exhibition in the Money Museum in Frankfurt makes the complex work of a Central Bank palpable and understandable.
Flanked by exciting insights into the history of money, the exhibition expands to current issues in monetary policy. Aim of the Money Museum is to inform about the function of money, the tasks of the Central Bank and the importance of monetary stability. Milla & Partner links these abstract topics with real life examples, e.g explaing the value of money and price stability in a staged supermarket, or banks and cashless payments in a bank branch.
