Money is not just coins. It's also trust and thousands of years of cultural history
From cattle to cryptocurrency. Money has taken many different forms over time, and has built societies up and laid others to ruin. The history of money is almost as long as that of humankind, and therefore tells us a lot about ourselves.
“Money is a taboo subject, and many people, with or without debt problems, find it difficult to talk about money. We hope that by focusing on this area, we can bring more openness about money and spending,” says Pernille Wahlgren, who is an ethnologist and director of the exhibition.
"[...] a fun exhibition that both makes you break a sweat and invites discussion on highly relevant and serious topics such as inflation, value creation, and excess."
