The Bank of Finland Museum programme for spring 2018 focuses on both the past and the present. The year 1918 is part of the Museum's programme for the spring, in events discussing the Bank of Finland's activities a hundred years ago. Governor Erkki Liikanen's lecture on central banks in the era following the Great Financial Crisis, in turn, takes us from the present to the future.
The events are open to all and are free of charge. They are held on the premises of the Bank of Finland Museum at Snellmaninkatu 2, Helsinki. As a rule, the events start at 17.00. All events are in Finnish.
