The museum has some really interesting information and has some great interactive exhibits . The building itself is really nice, but I've heard people say the bank itself looks even better.

Lift the gold bar and try to determine which notes are fraudulent (both are surprisingly hard!). http://bit.ly/BankofEnglandMuseum

Free, interesting and can be done in an hour. Lots of modern banking practice originated here!

Time Out London

Housed inside the former Stock Offices of the Bank of England, this engaging and surprisingly lively museum explores the history of the national bank . Read more

Try to lift the gold bar and hunt for the £1,000 note! Interior architecture here is amazing..

Kerim

Very nice and friendly staff . You should really touch and try to lift the 400 ounce gold bar displayed inside.

Time Out London

Tacked on to the end of the Bank of England, this museum is housed in a replica Sir John Soane interior, the largest of its kind in the world. Read more

It's more interesting than you might think. And you get to lift a genuine bar of gold, worth hundreds of thousands of pounds.

Danny UK

Very informative and interactive. The best part is that you can hold a gold bar .

Yulia Shyshko

Interesting both for economists and people far from economics

John 忠威 suɐɥ Dyke????

Really interesting and FREE: no free samples ;)

Sarah O'Carroll

Being closed at weekends and bank holidays does limit your visiting options. Lots of old banknotes and the chance to touch a gold bar .

Andrew Cassidy

Figure out the combination to the £50 safe for a free pin from the front desk.

Go in an Open Day, the interior is beautiful. The museum is just OK.

Did u know the author of The Windows in the Willows was a Secretary of The Bank of England?

Hold a gold bar

Kenneth Leung

Can be seen in 30-60 mins

Not worth going unless you want to see old currency. Sadly deficient on the policy work the Bank does and what they do have is hopelessly slanted.

Muito interessante os jogos que mostram como controlar a inflação. A presidente do Brasil deveria visitar.
