Money can't buy happiness, but at the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland it can educate you.

The interactive and informative all-ages Learning Center and Money Museum, which has been shut down since coronavirus pandemic restrictions took hold in 2020, is reopening its exhibits geared for all ages Monday, July 18. It's really a smart mashup of American history and accessible economics.

The museum, which attracts 10,000 to 12,000 visitors annually, is popular with families, summer campers and walk-in visitors - especially out-of-towners strolling around downtown.

It's a fun museum worth sauntering in to learn about all things currency. A video gives a glimpse into the bank's vault, which is closed to the public.

A timeline of the history of the federal reserve, a breakdown of what the codes mean on a bill, and other educational features are presented.

And, of course, the bank's famed money tree with assorted dollar bills dangling from its branches is a hit with kids, as is a giant dollar bill with George Washington's face cut out - a photo opportunity for visitors. It sits below typographical artwork depicting printed synonyms for money - shinplaster to sawbuck and more.

The updated 1923 building is a fortress: Part of the exhibits will show how the building is protected, originally with gun turrets and now bulletproof glass and other modern security measures. Equipment like gas masks and old-fashioned billy clubs also are shown.

Finley said.

Bank officials maintain a good relationship with schools, he said. Two levels of educational classroom spaces have been renovated and are technologically up to date. New flooring, light fixtures, carpets, video screens and more have been installed.
