Temporary exhibitions
The Money Museum joins the José Saramago Foundation, in partnership with the OEI (Organisation of Ibero-American States) and opens an exhibition that aims to increase knowledge of the Declaration of Human Duties, a project initiated by the José Saramago Foundation.
The exhibition, which can be found in the choir loft of the Museum, was designed and co-organised by several national central banks and the National Competent Authorities, together with the European Central Bank (ECB), to mark the 10th anniversary of the Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM) and strengthen the sense of community between the various institutions that make up the SSM.
Swiping a card to pay for something is now a banal gesture. This small plastic rectangle has become a part of everyday life, but where did it come from? How did bank cards emerge, in Portugal and around the world?
Present and past intertwine in this exhibition, where the themes of trust, security and counterfeiting in relation to money are explored.
