Money Museum of the Bank of Lithuania
The Money Museum of the Bank of Lithuania is one of the most interesting free museums in Vilnius city centre. Located on Totorių Street, just steps from Gedimino Avenue, it makes a perfect stop during a walk through the heart of the city. This is not just a museum about coins and banknotes. Money here is told as part of human history — from barter and the first coins to modern currencies, the euro, financial crises, and the history of Lithuanian money. Why Visit? The Money Museum often pleasantly surprises visitors. What seems like a narrow topic at first glance turns out to be a story about people, trust, states, and everyday life across centuries. The museum is interactive: educational tools, games, thematic films, and hands-on exhibits make the history of money come alive. Spread across two floors and five rooms, it covers world monetary and banking history as well as Lithuania's own financial past. What Will You See? Visitors can explore coins, banknotes, and older payment instruments from different eras. One of the most popular sections lets you calculate how much you would "cost" if made of gold, and learn about how money is produced and protected. The museum also organises guided tours and educational sessions for individuals and groups — check the programme before your visit. Brief History The museum is a branch of the Bank of Lithuania. It opened in its current location at the junction of Gedimino Avenue and Totorių Street in 2010. Its mission: to present the story of money clearly and engagingly — as a broader civilisation narrative, not a niche topic.
