Welcome to Moneyverse!
Money is more than just a means of payment. It connects and divides, is longed for and missed. It is a universal medium of exchange that we have used for thousands of years. Experience the phenomenon of money in the interactive, multimedia Moneyverse exhibition. From 10 April 2026 at Kaiserhaus Bern!
Exhibition
The Moneyverse presents insights into one of humanity’s most significant inventions. Four Money Worlds illuminate the subject from different perspectives: history, economics, society and the individual. Discover some of the objects we have used as money in the past, imagine the future of money on the Utopia Phone, and get a unique glimpse inside the workings of the Swiss National Bank. And in between take a break and listen to Pink Floyd’s ‘Money’ or Gwen Stefani’s ‘Rich Girl’ on the jukebox, or have a chat about money with one of our hosts waiting for you at the Moneyverse bar.
Tours
What are the functions of the Swiss National Bank? Why is Switzerland so rich? And does money make you happy? Take one of our audio walks, and stroll through the Moneyverse listening to experts from the fields of science, culture and finance. For around 40 minutes, they will offer insights, fascinating facts and stories, and leave you with plenty of food for thought about money. So put on the headset and get going!
Game
If you want a playful way to explore the topics in the Moneyverse, this game is for you: working in small groups, players collect points in four different Money Worlds. Among other challenges, you will have to safely transport stone money weighing many tons from one island to another, or show a banknote the way to your wallet. In between, personal questions prompt players to think about their own relationship with money. But be careful: unexpected game changers can send the game belly up at any moment – will the risk pay off or will you lose everything? Find out!

School Classes
Money plays a role at every stage of our lives. It shapes our day-to-day world, our decisions, and our future.
