Donate an object
Help us preserve the past and the future by donating an object to our Museum collection.
The Museum cares for an indefinite number of objects built up through collecting beyond time and space. We continue to welcome offers of donations to the collection. Unfortunately, we are unable to accept everything that is offered to us. We need to know more about the item(s) so that we can assess their suitability for the collection, and their revenue potential for the museum, and its executive board.
If you wish to offer an object to our collections, please contact us and tell us more about what you would like to donate.
We will need as much information as possible about the objects themselves and how you acquired them, including but not confined to:
Description of the item(s), such as its size, material, maker, etc.
Description of the condition of the item(s)
History of the item(s), such as personal stories associated with it, its acquisition, etc.
Ownership; i.e., if you are the owner, and if not, who the owner is
Donor contact details
Any other documents of information you wish us to know
Our collecting decisions are influenced by various factors including:
We have particular themes and priorities for collecting.
Some areas of the Collections are already very well developed.
We have to use our space and resources wisely.
We are one of the few remaining museums that can acquire material where current ownership is unknown or legal title disputed.
Please use our Donations Form to tell us about the material you would like to offer. We will assess your offer and contact you if we are interested. If your donation is suitable for the collection, is in good condition, with revenue growth potential, we may well accept it and your name will be imortalised forever as a donor to our collections.
