Full description
The Hungarian Money Museum & Visitor Center in Budapest's XII. kerület goes well beyond a conventional coin display. Visitors move through exhibits that combine history, interactive games and hands-on activities, making the subject of money approachable for adults and children alike.
Reviewers repeatedly mention that entry is free and that the museum feels better equipped than many paid attractions in the city. One recurring remark is that the coin collection was not yet fully open at the time of some visits.
About 45 minutes is enough for a relaxed walk-through, which suits a morning or early-afternoon slot.

Really one of the best equipped museums in Budapest. With a very interesting dynamic it offers more than most of pay enter museums. It's a shame though that the coin collection wasn't yet available in the store. However the museums is still great. It is really important to promote financial education.
