From Art Daily:
As a gallery devoted to a fast-changing field, it will also include regularly updated content, focusing on new technologies - including information on the first payments on plastic cards - and the ways that money continues to change lives. The museum has been working with the Institute for Money, Technology and Financial Inclusion at the University of California, Irvine, to create brand new case-studies for the gallery. At the opening of the gallery, the first featured case study details the use of mobile phone payments in Haiti following the devastating earthquake in 2010. This almost completely destroyed Haiti's banking infrastructure, and since then, the use of mobile phones for spending and saving money has increased dramatically. In this, Haiti is ahead of Europe and America, who are just trialling mobile money systems and cashless payments on a large scale.
