Welcome to the Museum on the Mound.

Money and so much more.

Opened in 2006, this fascinating museum takes a fresh look at money – and much, much more. Art & design, technology, crime, trade and security – all feature in the story of money. We are open throughout the year and admission is FREE. We look forward to seeing you!

"The Museum on the Mound is the best new museum to have opened in Edinburgh in ages… It's fun. It's free. It's fantastic."

Ian Rankin, best-selling author.
