Very interesting museum! The exposition was quite interesting and covered various subject : the bank building in itself, its architecture, the British money, gold stock in banks as well as the social history behind all of that. The scenography was well though out : enough information for the curious visitor without being overwhelming. The staff was very nice! As the visit is free, I would encourage everyone to stop by!

I had a great time at the BoE Museum as it was genuinely spectacular and far more interesting than I expected! The exhibits are engaging and well presented, and I loved learning about the history of money and banking. I even had a go at lifting a real gold bar, but let's just say my gym membership clearly isn't paying off ha. A brilliant, fun, and surprisingly entertaining visit that's well worth it.

We happened to go on a glorious hot day.. it was nice and cool inside, it is small..but very well informed, we were given a task sheet for my 9 year old, so she found it a mission. We also went for the midday vault story, which the story teller got most of the kids involved, which was good, being lunch time, our energy levels dropped..so we left just before finishing..but we will be back for sure.

Spent a fascinating hour here, enjoying this free museum. Arrived at the main Bank entrance on Threadneedle Street and was helpful directed to the side entrance - right hand side of the Bank. There's an airport security scanner, so be prepared for a search on entry. The exhibition details the story of the Bank, UK finance and the economy from 1694. There are many fascinating exhibits. My favourite was the hand written letter from King Charles II in 1676 to his Bankers- various Goldsmiths at the time. The King sadly couldn't pay back his huge debts, and several Goldsmiths went out of business at a result. They are detailed displays concerning the printing of notes and avoiding forgeries. As soon as banknotes were created by the Bank, forgeries appeared days later!! Also well covered are the Bank's store of 400,000 gold bars. One is available for holding, that proved very popular with families visiting with the school holidays. Highly recommended.

The Museum isn’t big but contains a lot of information in a stunning historic building. There are displays of the architectural designs of the bank, coins and info about money and gold, key figures in the banks history, and charters among other things. I especially liked the ceilings in the entrance area. You can access additional information via a QR code and it’s free to enter the museum. There aren’t any cafes or cloakrooms on site but there are toilets.
