About the guide
The guide is the accompanying catalogue to the permanent exhibition of the Museum of Bank of Greece and introduces the reader to the Museum itself.
The Museum of the Bank of Greece, which first opened its doors to the public in January 2010, was established with the purpose of featuring the role of the Bank to the economic, social and cultural development of Greece. As is aptly phrased in its slogan, it is designed to take the visitor on “a fascinating journey through Greece’s modern economic and monetary history”.
With it being one of the most modern central bank museums of Europe, the visitors can take an intellectually stimulating tour in the economic history of Greece through the Bank’s collections, the exhibited archival material and digital interactive applications. It is worth noting that, in their vast majority, the exhibits are original and not reproductions; that the Museum is fully accessible to people with mobility and sensory impairment; and that a significant number of visitors are high school and undergraduate or postgraduate students.
