Become a Family MemberIt’s a wonderful small museum with lots of kids activities. The reason for the 4-star rather than 5-star is because some areas are a bit worn down and some interactive displays did not work. Highly recommend nonetheless!
I had such a great time at Museum on the Mound! It’s not your typical tourist attraction, there were hardly any crowds, and that made it feel very peaceful and personal. The collection of old money and banking history is fascinating, and it’s laid out in a way that’s easy to follow, even if you’re not an expert. There’s also a fun little game you can play during your visit, which I found exciting. Its not every day a museum lets you win something! I’d highly recommend stopping by if you want something off the beaten path that’s still fun, educational, and surprisingly interactive.
I love that it was free to visit. There is a lot of history here and lots to learn. You can see £1million as well as learn lots of History. It is very child friendly with a range of trails. The lady working the desk was very knowledgeable and helped the kids out. Highly recommend a visit.
A free museum about history of money. Surely recommend if you really wanna know the history of money and finances in the UK. I thoroughly enjoyed the museum but its boring for some people. Allow yourself a good 1 hour there and do try cracking the safe open. The staff is friendly as well. It’s all free so give it a try.
Great free-entry museum. You learn some interesting things about the history of money and banking in Scotland and the UK, but also some cool facts about other countries. It's worth a visit. Put aside about 1 hour of your time if you intend to go in.
