People and Money exhibition in Prague

Have you ever wanted to see a real strongroom? Now’s your chance. The People and Money exhibition is located in the former strongroom of Živnostenská banka, now the Czech National Bank. Come and find out all about the history of the Czech and Czechoslovak currency and central banking in the international context. You can also see a unique heavyweight CZK 100 million gold coin! The Czech National Bank issued this coin in 2019 to mark 100 years of the koruna. It is the largest gold coin in Europe and the second largest in the world.

Accompanying exhibition: A. Rašín’s Study

As part of the People and Money exhibition tour, a new complementary exhibition has been prepared for you, inspired by the life and work of the first Minister of Finance, Alois Rašín. Through an immersive experience and an artistic projection by director Jiří Strach, featuring actor Ondřej Vetchý in the leading role, it offers a new and unique perspective on the life and legacy of Alois Rašín, who shaped Czech economic theory and stood behind the creation of the Czechoslovak currency.
