Legacies
Small independent museums rely on legacies from their supporters. The amount may be as much or as little as you decide. When you are drafting or revising your Will, please think about leaving a charitable legacy to the Museum.  It can, if you wish, be made towards some specific project or aspect of the Museum’s work, or for additions to the Collection. Whatever you decide you can be sure it will be very much appreciated and your name will be attached to the outcome of the project, work, or objects purchased.
Should you wish to discuss aspects of legacies with the Curator or one of the Directors do please contact us for an appointment.. All such matters will be treated in the strictest confidence.
