Free. Interactive and informative. Spend about an hour to an hour and a half here to get a history lesson on the roots of banking in the US.

This museum was free, which is rare and connected to the bank . It was so interactive . Every display was tangible and fun. This is a child's heaven. You can make a dollar bill with your face on it.

Mr Maggio

Real nice museum about the origin of Wells Fargo and in some sense, banking . It’s free

This lobby museum is free, has some great SF history, and you can "ride" the Wells Fargo horse wagon and get a free photo.

In Puccini's opera, A Girl Of The Golden West, "Wells Fargo" is shouted 3 times! Talk about advertising in 1910!
