With Dr Shailendra Bhandare, curator of the Money Talks exhibition and Senior Assistant Keeper, South Asian and Far-eastern Numismatics and Paper Money Collections

How does money talk to us? We are often unaware that the money in our pocket carries messages. Despite its functional form, money design is a carefully calibrated exercise of sign-making and artistic intent.

In his curatorial introduction to the Ashmolean’s Money Talks exhibition, Dr Bhandare will discuss how art and money inform and influence each other. He will explore the historic journeys money makes, often starting life as an illustration or sculpture commissioned to capture and memorialise moments and figures.
