Threadneedle Sreet, EC2.
The Bank of England Museum is located on the eastern side of the Bank of England in the City of London.
The museum outlines the history of the Bank from its foundation in the late 1600s and includes a full sized reconstruction of Sir John Soane's late 18th century banking hall.
The displays cover the history of the bank in roughly chronological order including many images showing the rebuilding of the Bank in the inter-war years.
Another section, called The Bank Today, uses interactive computers to bring the Bank's current activities to a wider audience. The collections include banknotes and coins, books and documents, pictures, furniture, statues, silver and even a real gold bar that can be handled.
The museum is open to the public free of charge on weekdays only.
