The Money Museum of the Bank of Lithuania was selected to be
among the top five best money museums in the world. The scientific
journal MintWorld Compendium prepared a list of the world’s top
five best money museum, and this list included the money museums of the
central banks of Canada, Germany’s Bundesbank, South Korea and the
United States of America Federal Reserve System.
The second best five museums were the money museums of Belgium’s
national bank, India’s reserve bank, and the central banks of England,
Israel and Japan.
The top five best money museums in the world were selected by
assessing the variety, quality and rarity of the museum’s exhibited
items, as well as the information provided in the educational materials.
The numerous interactive information tools did not go unnoticed either —
the option of choosing a different foreign language makes them easily
accessible for tourists.
