From the Museum web site:
Through the discovery of money, America's largest museum dedicated to numismatics brings culture to life. The museum explores art, history, science and much more to promote the diverse nature of money and related items.
The museum includes exhibits in three main galleries, where visitors can find spectacular rarities and learn about the history of our nation and the world as seen through money.
The multimedia Bass Gallery houses the Harry W. Bass Collection, a spectacular and comprehensive collection of American gold coins, experimental pattern coins and paper money.
The museum's main level features a new exhibit every year designed to appeal to a wide variety of interests, including history, art, archaeology, banking and economics, and coin collecting.
The Maynard Sundman-Littleton Gallery and the Whitman Publishing Gallery on the museum's lower level also feature new exhibits every year, illuminating aspects of numismatics and collecting designed to appeal to collectors and the general public.
The ANA Money Museum is named in honor of former Executive Director and ANA Past President, Edward C. Rochette.
