Money in Caricature and Satire

Money is a serious matter – and for that very reason has always been a target for caricature and satire. This manifests itself in a variety of outlets: jokes, cartoons, sketches, anecdotes or even money that has been in some way distorted or manipulated for satiric effect.

The exhibition covers the four areas of the Money Museum: cash, book money, monetary policy and global money. Tying in with the wealth of content found there, it steers the topics into the satirical and provides fresh insights into money and how we interact with it.
