The Swiss National Bank and the Bern Historical Museum are opening Moneyverse, a new visitor center, on April 10, 2026, at the Kaiserhaus in Bern. It aims to provide insights into the SNB's mission and the history of money for a broad audience, including school classes.
A New Hub for Economic Literacy
The Moneyverse visitor center, opening on April 10, 2026, at the Kaiserhaus in Bern, is designed for a broad public and particularly for school classes.
Visitors will gain insights into the mission and activities of the Swiss National Bank, delve into the history of money, and engage with current societal questions related to finance.
All offerings are available in German, French, Italian, and English, with free admission from Tuesday to Sunday, 10 AM to 5 PM.
This initiative, a collaboration between the SNB and the Bern Historical Museum, contributes to the public's general economic knowledge.
The Bern Historical Museum will manage the operations of Moneyverse on behalf of the SNB.
Kaiserhaus: A Cultural Destination
Moneyverse is an integral part of the newly renovated Kaiserhaus Bern, which reopens on April 10, 2026, integrating gastronomy, shops, and cultural experiences.
Visitors to Moneyverse can engage with diverse forms of money, past and present, complemented by historical artifacts from the Bern Historical Museum.
The center provides expert-led audio tours and an interactive game to simplify complex financial topics.
Additionally, curriculum-related programs are offered for secondary school classes, including thematic introductions and self-guided exhibition exploration.
Bridging the Knowledge Gap
This initiative represents a significant and timely investment in public economic literacy, especially crucial for younger generations navigating a complex financial landscape.
By making central bank functions and monetary history accessible, the SNB fosters a deeper understanding of its role and the broader financial system.
This effort effectively bridges a critical knowledge gap, reinforcing trust and engagement with the institution.
