Mitsubishi UFJ Money Museum and its collection

Mitsubishi UFJ Money Museum
Source

The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ Money Museum, located in Nagoya, central Japan, is a numismatic museum that opened its doors in 1961. Originally known as the 'Tokai Bank Money Museum', it underwent a name change in 2006 due to bank mergers.

Location and Collections

In 2009, the museum relocated to its current location near the Akatsuka-shirakabe bus stop on Dekimachi-dori. It houses an impressive collection of 10,000 exhibits of world currency, making it a fascinating destination for those interested in numismatics.

Exhibits and Displays

The museum boasts a collection of around 15,000 rare coins and bank notes, along with 1,800 ukiyo-e woodblock prints, all of which are displayed to the public. The money exhibition room showcases rare coins and notes from Japan and various countries around the world, including the world's oldest currency in the form of Shang dynasty cowrie shells.

    The Mitsubishi UFJ Money Museum in Nagoya, Japan, offers visitors an educational experience focused on the history of currency and finance. The museum houses a wide range of exhibits, including ancient coins, paper money, and financial instruments from various periods and cultures.

The museum also features interactive displays and some hands-on experiences, which can be engaging for both adults and children.

    However, some visitors note that the museum is relatively small and can be thoroughly explored in about an hour. Additionally, while there are some English explanations, non-Japanese speakers might find certain areas of the museum challenging to fully appreciate due to limited translations.

    The location of the museum, within the MUFG Bank building in central Nagoya, is convenient for many visitors. Admission is free, which is viewed positively by most guests.

    Overall, the Mitsubishi UFJ Money Museum provides a solid educational experience for those interested in monetary history and finance. While it may not appeal to everyone, it offers good value, especially considering its free admission.
