About The Museum Of American Finance:
On January 11, 2008, the Museum of American Finance will re-open to the public in the former headquarters of the Bank of New York at 48 Wall Street in Lower Manhattan. The museum will occupy 30,000 square feet of space in the building, including the majestic grand mezzanine banking hall, which will be utilized as exhibition space, and two additional floors featuring a state-of-the-art financial education center, auditorium, and research facility. 

The museum is the nation’s only independent public museum dedicated to celebrating the spirit of entrepreneurship and the democratic free market tradition which has made New York City the financial capital of the world.  Founded in 1988, the museum was chartered as an educational institution.  Today, financial education is at the core of the museum’s mission and its public programs and services.
