This year, the Exhibition of the Year award ceremony was held on 3 November 2022, the result of which was awaited by eleven museums in the three categories: the “virtual exhibition” category, the “below HUF 4 million initial costs” category and the above “HUF 4 million initial costs” category. This year's nominees included the permanent exhibition The Path of Money, opened on 15 March 2022 at the Hungarian Money Museum and Visitor Center, which draws attention to financial awareness and the importance of financial education through creative and interactive tools. A special feature of the exhibition is that it provides experience-based learning for all ages, for example by having a symbolic gold thread guides visitors along the way, and at the end of the trip visitors can lift a real gold bar.
