Special exhibitions and events take place in the Museum throughout the year. These range from exhibitions on aspects of the Bank of England's work and history, often including items from the Bank's collections that are not on public display, to activities for children during school holidays, and seasonal craft and concert events.

The diary of Events & Activities lists the forthcoming attractions for 2013. Don't forget to book ahead if you would like one of our popular Talks.
