Frankfurt am Main, 19 November 2015 – Gold is much more than just an investment: the exhibition at the Museum of American Finance in New York, which opened today, shows the degree to which the precious metal influences our lives. Germany“s largest precious-metal dealer, Degussa Goldhandel GmbH, has also made part of its „Degussa Collection“ available for the exhibition. The exhibits are from the „Industry Collection of Gold Bars Worldwide“, also known as the „Rothschild Collection“, which represents the world“s largest and most important collection of contemporary gold bars with over a thousand pieces.

The Museum of American Finance, located on New York“s Wall Street, is showing over 100 objects from private and public collections in its exhibition „Worth its Weight: Gold from the Ground Up“. The unique and rare exhibits are supposed to show the visitors the meaning gold has in different areas from science and technology to entertainment and pop culture as well as in the world of finance and the economy.

Degussa will contribute special pieces from the Rothschild Collection, which has been in the company“s possession since spring 2014 and is now part of the „Degussa Collection“. About 40 pieces will be on display in New York from the rich collection of extremely valuable artistic and historical gold bars from 145 producers in 35 countries.

In addition to the items from the Rothschild Collection, the exhibition at the Museum of American Finance will also include pieces from the collections of the Smithsonian Institution, Tiffany & Co. archives and the Tellus Science Museum, as well as works by the jewellery-designer Marla Aaron and the distinguished jewellery-artist Sidney Mobell.

The exhibition will be open until 30 December 2016. Learn more about Degussa at www.degussa-goldhandel.de (http://www.degussa-goldhandel.de) and the exhibition at www.moaf.org/gold (http://www.moaf.org/gold)
