Gold originated over five billion years ago through supernova explosions or collisions of neutron stars. Figuratively speaking, gold is therefore truly stardust. Gold eventually reached Earth through meteorite impacts, where humans have always associated it with the sun, the divine, and luxury. To this day, it stands as a timeless symbol of wealth, power, status, and imperishability.
The exhibition at the OeNB Money Museum explores the valuable precious metal in ten chapters: gold as jewelry, as a currency reserve, as a means of payment, as a medical product, and much more. Immerse yourself in the world of gold and experience the magic of history's most precious stardust.
