Money makes some generous and others greedy. So do w control the money, or does it actually control us?
Ever since we invented them, the ways of money have been inscrutable. In the exhibition KA-CHING! we ask how and why money has shaped our society and lives for thousands of years. Come and play the game of golden coins, colorful bills, and digital numbers. Maybe you'll "win" the million and a dip in the money bath.

Money is not just coins. It's also trust and thousands of years of cultural history
From cattle to cryptocurrency. Money has taken many different forms over time, and has built societies up and laid others to ruin. The history of money is almost as long as that of humankind, and therefore tells us a lot about ourselves.
“Money is a taboo subject, and many people, with or without debt problems, find it difficult to talk about money. We hope that by focusing on this area, we can bring more openness about money and spending,” says Pernille Wahlgren, who is an ethnologist and director of the exhibition.
"[...] a fun exhibition that both makes you break a sweat and invites discussion on highly relevant and serious topics such as inflation, value creation, and excess."
