A Time Travel to Discover Money: From Early Forms of Exchange to Digital Innovations.
Money and finance have accompanied the history of humanity for over 5,000 years. They are born when people begin to specialize in different trades, producing goods and services to be exchanged. Today, more than ever, they are central tools in our daily lives
Over time, the forms of money and the means of payment have changed radically. But their core functions have remained: they help us pay, save, count, manage uncertainty.
An exhibition between past, present and future
