Experiential Financial Education. Assessing the Effectiveness of a Banca d’Italia Museum Exhibition Bank of Italy, Italy We investigate the impact of a museum exhibition on the financial literacy of young people. The exhibition, titled “The Adventure of Money”, took place in Rome between October 2023 and June 2024. It offered a preview of Banca d’Italia’s upcoming Money Museum, which aims to stimulate interest in the main events in the history of money and finance. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of the exhibition, we conducted a randomized control trial with about 600 students from 19 Italian upper secondary schools. The results show an improvement in the students’ financial knowledge, as evidenced by an increase of around one third in their initial financial competence scores. The results also show that the exhibition had a greater impact on female students. Finally, no learning decay was observed within the first month following the exhibition. | |
