Museum of the National Bank of Belgium and its collection

Museum of the National Bank of Belgium
Source

The National Bank of Belgium houses its museum in a magnificent nineteenth-century bank building. This is the perfect backdrop to get acquainted with the activities of a European central bank and the history of money. Use the audio guide to visit the museum (free) and test your knowledge of the Eurosystem or try to keep inflation under control. Find out how euro banknotes and coins end up in your wallet. The history gallery is literally the display case of the museum collection and elaborates on the history of the means of payment. You will quickly notice that money then did not always look like money now.
