A new museum is coming to Boston.
Set to open on Commonwealth Pier in the Seaport on July 1, 2026, the Museum of American Finance will host exhibits, collections and events highlighting the history of finance in the United States. The museum will be free to the public, with the goal of educating the public on financial literacy and financial independence.
“Visitors will leave our Museum with a greater understanding and appreciation for our nation’s financial history—much of it centered in the Boston Harbor area—as well as knowledge that will help them better their own financial lives,” said MoAF President/CEO David Cowen, in a press release. “We are thrilled for our exhibits to be based in Boston and will ensure that Commonwealth Pier becomes a destination for school groups, the community and tourists.”
