Gold at the Bank of England Museum

The Gold exhibition will include a rich mix of objects and ideas concerning gold. Gold coins, extremely rare Roman gold bars, historic banknotes (repayable in gold) will all feature along with the story of the Gold Standard and cartoons touching on gold.

Finally there is the ‘Gold Experience’. Visitors will be able to enjoy a rare opportunity to try to lift a London bullion market bar weighing approximately 13 kilograms and of pure (99.95%) gold.
