The Money Museum offers a distinctly interactive experience that draws on multimedia technology to display its collection. Its unconventional museography is aimed at creating an alluring environment that ensures visitor participation and promotes knowledge building. This museum is aware of its social role and also of the symbolic presence that it enjoys in the city as well as in the country; it is a place where contact with diverse audiences takes priority, and one that invests in educational and cultural programming, preserving strong ties to both the community and the city of Lisbon.
