The Digital Wall
A spectacular interactive display
You’ve never seen anything like it: a 6.5 metre-long touch screen featuring 400 artifacts that you can explore with a tap, a drag and a swipe. Enlarge and rotate the images, view more content and then let your fancy lead you onto the next artifact that catches your eye.
Decoding E-Money — November 21, 2017 to May 6, 2018
A new exhibition at the Bank of Canada Museum
It’s money that’s neither in your bank account nor in your wallet, but somewhere in between—and stored electronically. It’s e-money and it’s beginning to change the way we spend. Explore the ways we used to pay, the ways we pay now and how we might pay in the future in this dynamic new exhibition.

Canada Day 2018 at the Museum: Women on Currency
Come in out of the sun (or rain) for some fun family activities at the Museum. Strike your own coin, make an origami maple leaf or go to our digital wall and see how you fare on the women-on-currency trivia challenge.
- Strike your own coin. Are you strong enough to swing the hammer?
- Fold your own origami maple leaf—it’ll look like it’s made of money.
- Have a tasty, free fruit pop. But first you have to complete a task.
