Road Trip!

10 September 2012 - 31 March 2013

Museum visitors hopped on a bus, tuned up their old camper vans, or hitched a ride to take a virtual road trip down (or up) the Trans-Canada Highway. They travelled through time, past economic troubles into bright futures, through energy and mortgage crises, and back into times of stability. The Bank of Canada was with them all the way—driving the macroeconomic bus!

This “roadside” exhibition was displayed in the Garden Court of the Bank of Canada.
