All Friends' annual contributions are used to buy works of art. In many other ways, the Friends seek to assist, promote and foster interest in the Museum. Friends' Benefits Friends receive mailings throughout the year, with information about in the Museum, exhibitions, concerts, lectures and preview parties. The Museum's attractive Annual Report is available free of charge to all Friends. Friends' lecture take place in the Museum and elsewhere.
Friends organise trips to historic houses, museums elsewhere and cities abroad.
There are discounts available in the Museum shop. Friends meet other members not only at social events, but by helping as volunteers.
