Opened in 1995 and fully renovated in 2015, the Bank Museum is located in the former teller hall of the Banque et Caisse d'Epargne de l'Etat, Luxembourg head office and covers an area of 650 m2.
The interactive terminals and the touch-screens allow visitors to learn about the development of the banking business, the Luxembourg financial centre and, more specifically, the Banque et Caisse d'Epargne de l'Etat, Luxembourg since its creation in 1856.
From Luxembourg-city.com:
The architect Jean-Pierre Koenig (1870-1919) started in 1910 the construction works on the new building which was finished in 1913. During the construction works the persons in charge noticed that the building was way too small and as a consequence a first annex to the existing building was built in 1913. A second mounting followed 1933 .
The State Savings Bank Building has been built in historism style and imitates the french Néo-Renaissance. The most prominent element is the tower (46 meter), that sets a distinctive accent to the skyline of Luxembourg City.
