Experience & Discover
The Moneyverse lets you experience money as never before. Across four exhibition floors, discover all manner of approaches to money and forms of currency, peek behind the scenes at the Swiss National Bank, and discuss social issues related to money.
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 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 are looking for a playful way to discover the Moneyverse, this game is just right for you. Working in a small group, you collect points from all four Money Worlds. Along the way, you will encounter a Yap stone from the Palau islands that weighs several tons, a Bitcoin mining rig, and nylon stockings, which just a few decades ago were a hotly desired currency. A variety of challenges will open up new vistas.
School Classes
Money plays a role at every stage of our lives. It shapes our day-to-day world, our decisions, and our future. In our interactive tours for secondary school classes, we take a real-life approach to learning, aligned with classwork. Our hosts will discuss economic and social issues together with the students in an entertaining, understandable and accessible way.
