RE: Visiting the Bank of England museum

It isn't signposted very well, you'll only see a fairly small obscure sign when you arrive outside.

I guess something to do witht he 400k gold bars in the basement 😆
The Dutch central bank office in Amsterdam is also quite downplayed. When one doesnt know it is their office, one would not think it is theirs. No museum as far as I know.... owww wait.... had to Google, since I suddenly thought about the endless renovations that was ongoing not too many years ago. They have some sort of museum now. The rooms are open to public where all the gold and money was stocked before. Thanks for your post since I know a nice outing for some rainy (snowy) day now 🙏

10 minutes away from it for many years, I have never thought of visiting

That is so common human behaviour. Glad you made it eventually.

Inside was a puzzle with bars of gold in a safe.

How cool! Looks a bit like Lego, but it isn't, I realise that 🙂
