How your membership supports the Waikato Museum
Friends of the Museum raise funds for the acquisition of artefacts and art works to gift to our museum. These gifts are added to the museum collections for the benefit of everyone who enjoys the museum.
By becoming a friend, your generous support will assist in further commissions or purchases.
