About us

The Historical Museum and the Economic Museum - Royal Coin Cabinet share premises and have a common entrance and shop.

The vision is to unite people through time and space and to spark curiosity about how the past influences the present and the future.

The Economic Museum - Royal Coin Cabinet has a vision to inspire people to be active in the present to shape the future through economic history and numismatics.

By increasing knowledge about economic issues, people gain better opportunities to influence their economy and understand their participation in society.
