Visitor Services
We’re more than just artifacts and interactives. The Bank of Canada Museum has a number of services and facilities to help your visit become a richer and more pleasant experience.
About the Museum
We’re really rather nice. We are here to help you understand what the Bank does and how it matters to you. But, we are also a museum in the traditional sense, so the history of World and Canadian currency will also be explored: exhibiting fascinating artifacts and rare examples of money the likes of which you may have never seen before.
About the Bank
Find out what the Bank does, who runs the Bank and how it is separate from the political process. Learn about our history and find links to the Bank’s governance documents.
