I spent this morning with three of my colleagues visiting the American Museum of Finance on Wall Street, down the street from the NYSE, the Trump building and a couple of blocks form the New York Fed. Last week I joined the AMOF and will organize a trip in September for my Financial History of the US course. I urge you to join at www.moaf.org
Below are some pictures I took inside the museum. If you will be visiting NYC, I highly recommend spending some time viewing the exhibits, which show how American finance was instrumental in creating our prosperity.
