Dallas Museum to Make You Richer
8 Feb
Summary
- MoMoney opens Feb 20 on Dealey Plaza, offering interactive financial education.
- Museum aims to make learning about money approachable and memorable for all.
- Dallas is emerging as a financial hub with new exchanges and Nasdaq branch.
A unique Museum of Money, dubbed MoMoney, is scheduled to open its doors on February 20 in downtown Dallas, at 501 Elm St. on historic Dealey Plaza. Organizers emphasize its immersive and playful design, intended to make financial literacy accessible and engaging for visitors of all ages. Exhibits will range from the history of currency to interactive features like a 'cash shower splash' and the opportunity to design one's own money.
The museum's launch occurs as Dallas solidifies its position as a significant financial center. Recent developments include the planned launch of the Texas Stock Exchange and the establishment of a Nasdaq branch in the city. These advancements bolster Texas Governor Greg Abbott's proclamation of Texas as the "new financial capital of America."
MoMoney's founders, who began planning in 2021, aim to address a critical need for practical financial education, which they believe is often lacking in traditional schooling. They note that while Dallas's financial prominence was not the direct catalyst for the museum, the city provides a fitting and dynamic backdrop.
