Educational action at the Museum of the Bank of Greece “Pay attention... or pay the price”

In the context of the temporary exhibition and the Bank of Greece's role as national coordinator of Global Money Week 2024, the Bank’s Museum has launched an educational action, drawing on its temporary exhibition, in conjunction with the permanent GMW slogan “Learn. Save. Earn.” and the 2024 theme “Protect your money, secure your future”.

The educational action, entitled “Pay attention... or pay the price”, mainly targets secondary school pupils and any other stakeholders. Concepts such as “money”, “purchasing power” and “price stability” are presented to the visitors in an experiential way, so that, by the end of their visit, they are able to better understand inflation and its impact on their purchasing power. The goal is also to inform visitors on all that central banks are doing to safeguard price stability.

Temporary exhibition “Euro at 20” at the Museum of the Bank of Greece

2022

Twenty years after the launch of euro banknotes and coins, this small temporary exhibition focused on the greatest monetary transition ever, i.e. the simultaneous adoption of a new single currency by 12 euro area Member States in 2002 (which led to the creation of one of the major currencies in the world), as well as on the euro banknotes and coins themselves, which tangibly remind us on a daily basis of the freedom, convenience and opportunities that the use of the euro offers today, two decades later.
