▼ About MoFun
Money should not feel like homework.
MoFun is a Johannesburg money-exhibit and event-hosting studio. 28 hands-on exhibits, private events, launches, and school trips — opened in 2026 to make money less intimidating and a lot more fun.
Money runs everything in modern life, and most people are taught about it badly or not at all. Schools skip it. Others complicate it. We thought a museum could do better. So we built one.
What we believe.
Confidence is learnable.
Especially hands-on. The fastest way to feel less intimidated by money is to play with it.
Small decisions compound.
A coffee. A subscription. A 401k match. Money is mostly small choices stacking up over time. We make that visible.
Money is a tool, not a taboo.
Most people are uncomfortable talking about it. We think that's a problem worth fixing, one exhibit at a time.
▼ What's inside
What's inside.
28 exhibits across 2 floors. Photo ops, hands-on games, panels you'll actually want to read. Bartering to crypto, gold to compound interest, vault heists to stock-market history.

▼ Where we are
Why Johannesburg? It's home.
The team grew up in and around Johannesburg, so building MoFun here was the obvious move. We host at partner venues across the city, from Braamfontein to Rosebank, and bring the exhibits to you. Johannesburg didn't have a museum like this. Now it does.
