Join our Association of Friends!

Any natural or legal person who commits to the objectives of the Association of Friends, and is willing to work for it, is welcome to join. The Association consists of ordinary and sponsoring members as well as honorary members.

Sponsoring members are members who want to provide direct material support to the museum with an elevated membership fee.

The General Meeting of Members decides on the earmarked use of the donations received each year.
