Opening on July 3, 2026, comes a new museum to Boston with free admission for all! The Museum of American Finance (MoAF) is a Smithsonian-affiliated museum arriving at Commonwealth Pier this summer, adjacent to the upcoming Daily Provisions cafe, Salt & Straw ice cream, and more!
This is the museum’s only physical location, the first permanent one since 2018. The museum plans to stick around for at least a decade, signing off on a ten year lease. How about that appreciation and ROI!
About the Museum of American Finance
Established in 1989, the Museum of American Finance formerly occupied a space on Wall Street in Manhattan before a flood destroyed the space. This location on Commonwealth Pier in Boston marks the new home of the museum.
The museum plans to serve as both a space for education on financial history and offer financial literacy programs for the community.
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 David Cowen, president and CEO of the museum, in a statement. “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.
The Museum of American Finance (MoAF) opens on Wednesday, July 3 on Commonwealth Pier in Boston Seaport.
