Financial markets connect those with money to those with ideas about how to use it. They enable entrepreneurs to realize their visions, companies to grow and governments to better serve their citizens. In doing so, they have made Wall Street a center of innovation and an invaluable engine of America's prosperity.
The largest of the Museum's exhibits at its former home at 48 Wall Street enabled visitors to experience the excitement and energy of Wall Street through monumental media towers representing three of New York's premier exchanges: the New York Stock Exchange, the CME Group (formerly the New York Mercantile Exchange) and a major New York bond desk. "The Financial Markets" also traced Wall Street's history from its earliest years to the present and featured multi-media and interactive displays alongside hundreds of original documents and artifacts depicting the rich history of the stock, bond and commodities markets.
