About Patron Membership
Our Patrons form an exclusive group of Museum supporters –
an eclectic mix of people from the worlds of business, commerce, the arts, media, legal and financial professions.
Each of our Patrons has a close and special relationship with the Museum and shares an interest in the goals and visions of the Museum.
Our Patrons play a particularly vital role in supporting the current and future work of the Museum. Each contribution helps fund a wide variety of core activities, including education events, international programmes, acquisitions of new objects, and the conservation of the collection for future generations.
We are delighted to invite you to join and and help share and shape our vision for the future.
