As ideas and themes began to emerge from the research, the brainstorms and the content meetings, our next touring exhibition began taking on a tangible form.

The Adventure of Exhibit Planning

Our Year Ahead
We here at the Currency Museum hope you had a fabulous holiday season. We know we did, though maybe a little too fabulous for some of us.
