The Bank of England Museum is located on the eastern side of the Bank Of England , City Of London , England . It covers around 10,000 square feet (1,000 square metres), and includes a reconstruction of a late 18th Century office. Known as The Stock Office this is where holders of Bank stock would come to collect their dividends. The displays cover the history of the bank in roughly chronological order including many images showing the rebuilding of the Bank in the inter war years. There is also a section called The Bank Today which uses modern technology to bring the Bank's current activities to a wider audience. The collections include banknotes and coins, books and documents, pictures, furniture, statues, silver and even a real gold bar that can be handled. The museum is open to the public free of charge on weekdays only. It is currently closed until May 2, 2006 for redecoration. EXTERNAL LINKS |
