Why is it worth putting the 🏦Bank of England Museum in your travel pocket in England?

#exhibition #100 ways to travel #ukattractions #londonattractions Located in London's historic financial district (opposite the Royal Exchange), the #Bank of England is the central bank of the United Kingdom. It was established in 1694 with the original purpose of lending to the government to support its spending in war. Over time, the Bank of England has gradually developed into the core institution of the UK financial system, responsible for formulating monetary policy, regulating banking operations and issuing pounds sterling. A visit to the #BankofEnglandMuseum gives visitors a unique perspective on the important role it plays in the national economy. 🌟Bank Of England Museum Exhibition Highlights🌟 The #museum has five themed #exhibition halls, taking visitors through history to see Britain's economic development over the past three hundred years. From the design and manufacture of currency, the development of the financial system and its impact on the economy. Viewing old banknotes, coins, silverware and vintage banking equipment helps visitors better understand the basic principles of finance and the functions of banks. Visiting this museum is an opportunity to fully understand the history of British finance, especially how international finance has shaped today's economy. It is worth visiting #exhibitionhall 👍 🤩The exhibition that impressed me the most🤩 🤩The Bank’s Stock Office is modeled after a stock office in the late 18th century. Visitors can learn more about the operation of banks and currencies through interactive exhibits and activities. 🤩Visit the vault virtually, and you can touch the most eye-catching 13-kilogram 99.79% pure gold bar to feel its weight. This is a very special experience that allows visitors to have a deeper understanding of the value of gold, which symbolizes the glory and stability of currency. 🤩The Banknote Gallery is where you can see the banknotes from different periods, from ancient handwritten banknotes to today's brightly colored banknotes. The variety of banknotes is quite rich, narrating the evolution of British currency. 🤩The blue and white boat under the dome is called the "Bank of England ship", which represents the history of British maritime trade. The ship's presence reminds visitors how the UK's economy benefits from trade and shipping, and it also symbolizes the bank's function in supporting the country's economic development. 💡Trip tips: ** Don't miss the opportunity to admire the classical architectural features of the Bank of England ** All exhibitions and activities are free to visit ** The museum entrance is at the side door of the Bank of England ** Opening hours: Monday to Friday 10:00-17:00 ** Closed on weekends and public holidays ** Take the subway to Bank Station exit
