the nation's only independent public museum dedicated to celebrating the spirit of entrepreneurship and the democratic free market tradition which has made New York City the financial capital of the world.

Founded in 1988, the Museum was chartered as an educational institution. Today, financial education is at the core of the Museums mission and its public programs and services.

An active national-level advocate on behalf of the growing financial literacy movement, the Museum is committed to helping people look to the lessons of American financial history, while taking charge of their own financial lives.
