Museum of Money
245 Sparks St, Ottawa, ON K1A, Canada
About the company:
Canada’s largest collection of banknotes and coins is at the National Money Museum in Ottawa. More than one hundred thousand names are collected here, reflecting the stages of the development of the monetary system in the country since the arrival of the first colonists to the present day. In 1980, the collection was moved to the historic Central Bank building and made available to the general public.
One of the very first branches of the Central Bank in the country was designed by the famous Canadian architect Arthur Erickson. The old building once housed the headquarters of the Bank of Canada, which after some renovation became the main premises of the National Museum of Money.
In addition to exhibition activities, the museum is an educational center for children of all ages. He not only introduces the history and economy of the country, but also fosters pride and understanding of its cultural and material heritage.
