Bank of England Museum, London

Bank of England Museum is a museum located within the premises of the Bank of England, at Threadneedle Street, London. The museum occupies 10,000 sq ft of space on the eastern part of the bank building.

The Bank of England Museum provides the history of the bank in chronological order, from its founding in 1694. It also has a display of banknotes, coins, books, a real gold bar, and anything related to money.

Original available by appointment only, the Bank of England Museum decided to "throw its doors open" to the general public, in preparation for the bank's tercentenary in 1994. A fire at the bank building forced a change of plans in 1986. Instead of opening in 1994, it decided to go ahead design the exhibits, which were completed in 18 months. The Bank of England Museum was opened to the public by Queen Elizabeth II in 1988.
