The Banknote gallery


Museum interior and display

Complete refurbishment and redesign of a gallery in the Bank of England museum to coincide with the release of the polymer £5 note in September 2016. The gallery tells the story of banknotes from the earliest paper money to the most recent anti-forgery features.
