Bank of Finland Museum
The Bank of Finland Museum was opened in August 2003. Its displays include the history of money in Finland and abroad as well as the role of the Bank of Finland in the European System of Central Banks.
The Bank of Finland Museum has especially been designed for Finnish school pupils and students. A guided visit for groups of school pupils takes about an hour and provides a historical overview of money and monetary systems in Finland and elsewhere, the Bank of Finland’s role and current tasks in the context of the Eurosystem, some basic economics and a view of Finnish banknote art. The presentation can be tailor-made for a specific group by prior arrangement. Please book your guided tour in advance!

On Tuesday 7 February 2012, Iiro Viinanen and Esko Seppänen, who have spent their respective careers on opposite sides of the political spectrum, will engage in a fierce debate on economic ideas, values and how Finland stands today. The debate will be focused around their Minerva publication Vasen oikea, oikea vasen (‘Left right, right left’), and they will be joined in discussion by Erkki Liikanen, Governor of the Bank of Finland.

More about the euro
The Bank of Finland has opened its online study site More about the euro (www.euro.fi), which focuses on monetary and financial matters and has been designed as additional study material for students of economic affairs at the upper level of comprehensive school, upper secondary school and vocational and technical colleges. The site aims to provide an easy-to-use and fun way to familiarise oneself with the ways in which the monetary economy works, all of which have important implications for the financial affairs of young people.
