Story

The Museum of American Finance is the nation’s only independent museum dedicated to preserving, exhibiting and teaching about American finance and financial history. Housed in an historic bank building on Wall Street, the Museum’s magnificent grand mezzanine banking hall provides an ideal setting for permanent exhibits on the financial markets, money, banking, entrepreneurship and Alexander Hamilton.

The Museum is an independent, non-profit 501(c)(3) Smithsonian affiliate creating non-ideological presentations and programs for purposes of education and general public awareness. Financial education is at the core of the Museum’s mission, seeking to promote lifelong learning and inquiry.

As a chronicler of American financial achievement and development, the Museum seeks to play a special role as a guardian of America’s collective financial memory, as well as a presenter and interpreter of current financial issues, thereby connecting the past with the present while serving as a guide for the future.

It's a crying shame that Wall Street, one of the most influential forces in history, has only this rather timid museum as its showcase. Perhaps, though, it's on purpose. After all Wall Street likes to keep its true power to itself. One upside on my visit; some interesting examples of worthless Confederate currency. As yet no bitcoin though.

Very interesting, if you're interested in finance, stock trading, and money in general. Not very expensive to get in, but unless you're as interested as I was, you probably won't spend very long looking around.
