Exhibition Details
MoneyArt: Aesthetics of Currencies Across Times and Cultures is a groundbreaking exhibition showcasing exceptional numismatic artefacts while inspiring meaningful conversations about the evolving relationship between art and money. It provides an opportunity for reflection, learning, and engagement with thought-provoking questions surrounding the intersection of numismatics and art in today’s world.
MoneyArt celebrates artistic craftsmanship and innovative presentation. It brings together world currencies—from delicate feather money to elaborate metal castings—to reveal the skill and artistry behind each piece. The display of numismatic artefacts in a museum-like style highlights the artistic power of modern and ancient currencies alike.
Money symbolizes more than its monetary value; it reflects rich cultural, historical and personal narratives. MoneyArt offers a platform for dialogue among artists, collectors, critics and the public on how money shapes creative practices and societal values. Alongside diverse cultural and socio-political examples, the exhibition links the history of money to contemporary art, drawing connections from the past with the Nickle and the Bank of Canada Museum numismatic collections.
