Lloydminster, AB/SK – Starting on January 31, 2025, Lloydminster Museum + Archives is inviting children to visit a new exhibition that is inspired by questions they have about money. Money in 10 Questions: Kids Edition is a play- based exhibition, developed by the Bank of Canada Museum in Ottawa, that helps children understand money and how to handle it.
In 2020, the Bank of Canada Museum asked kids what they wanted to know about money. More than 800 questions flooded in from across the country. The questions were thoughtful and complex, while some were just plain fun. Money in 10 Questions: Kids Edition is built around 10 of these questions, such as “Why do you have to work for money?” and “Can money be dinosaur bones?” These questions act as springboards to explore concepts that are important for children and their families to understand as they navigate through the economy.
Highlights of the exhibition experience include the following:
• Can you save a million dollars? Learn about the magic of compound interest.
• Discover some surprising forms of money. Touch them; some of them are furry.
• Meet a kid entrepreneur and find ways to make your own money.
Money in 10 Questions: Kids Edition runs at the Lloydminster Museum + Archives until April 27, after which the exhibition will continue to tour across the country. The tour of the exhibition is managed by Ingenium – Canada’s Museums of Science and Innovation
