Marvel at John Soane and Herbert Baker’s architecture, test your strength by lifting a real gold bar, and find out what the Bank of England does and how it affects you.
Plus, check out our pop-up exhibition, Currency of the Future, in which artists, photographers, illustrators and designers imagine what money should look like in the future.
