Museum on the Mound is now closed to allow us to upgrade several displays. We plan to re-open Tuesday 1st June.

A second batch of matched pair polymer £20 notes were released in November and stock will be available when we re-open. We hope to have the polymer £50 on sale from 15th July.

Located in the historic Bank of Scotland Head Office, this fascinating museum takes a fresh look at money – and much, much more. Art & design, technology, crime, trade and security – all feature in the story of money. We are open throughout the year and admission is FREE. We look forward to seeing you!

 

Please Note - the Polymer £20 packs are now sold out. We are working to get another batch made up but don't yet have a time scale.
