How your money helps

The Warren cup

Your Membership helps to fund a variety of projects, including acquisitions and research programmes throughout the Museum.

The constant need to deepen our knowledge and promote understanding of the collections drives an active programme of research, including collaboration with curators and institutions world-wide.

Acquisitions both complement existing collections and enable us to grow our holdings of contemporary objects for the benefit of future generations.

Your support ensures the incomparable inheritance of the British Museum continues to change lives.
