Become a Patron and help secure our future
Our vision is to work together with audiences and communities to inspire, to share and to care for cultural heritage. Your support as a Patron, helps York Museums Trust deliver this vision.
Become a Patron Today.
As a regular supporter you will be helping York Museums Trust to deliver this vision. By sharing art, culture, stories and history, we can change lives through the inspiration our collections offer. Your patronage will enable us to continue to care for the collections of the city of York, work with our communities to spark curiosity, improve wellbeing and create opportunities for learning and enjoyment now and for generations to come.
Patrons make a real difference to our work as a charity, helping secure our long-term sustainability and continue as an important centre for the region’s cultural, historical and artistic endeavours.
Through your support we could achieve so much. Whether that be helping local children find their inner artist by providing materials to use in York Art Gallery to finding Yorkshire’s next generation of curators and scientists or unearthing new treasure and ensuring it is never lost again.
Not only will you help secure our future, you will be able to explore in new ways our magnificent collections, art, buildings and stories as well as meeting others as passionate and curious as you about York Museums Trust.
Whether it be a tour of our galleries, or a drinks reception hosted by our Chief Executive, our varied programme is sure to delight.
Make a difference today, join the Patrons of York Museums Trust.
