What’s more, admission is free for everyone. With a café on the third floor, it’s a good spot to take a break if you visit in summer and find it too hot.
Admission is free, yet there are stringent security checks. While initially rather surprising, the heightened tension of glimpsing behind the scenes of a bank makes for rather effective staging.
The Money Museum (Museu do Dinheiro) features some rare spaces, utilising the former vault rooms of the bank as they were.
You can view the history of money around the world, including the euro, of course.
OBAN DE 10RYO!!!
Japanese large-format prints are available too!

The location is here. Just a stone’s throw from Corsimio Square. If the heat gets to you, drop in for a rest.
