Our generous supporters are vital to the work of Museums Victoria. You can donate to a range of areas, including education and access, as well as scientific research and the care of 17 million precious items in the State Collection.
Support us where it’s needed most. You will be playing a vital role in building our communities' understanding of our natural history, Indigenous cultures and social history for everyone to enjoy, share and learn.
Help us reach out to children, schools and young families who, due to disadvantage or distance, have not visited one of our museums.
Whether working with the Italian community to develop a festival at the Immigration Museum or partnering with leaders in medical research to present Melbourne Museum's recent Biomedical Breakthroughs exhibition, we are committed to doing more and engaging more than ever before.
Beyond our Museum's exhibitions lies a world of vast storage areas, scientific laboratories, libraries and busy offices. The State Collection forms an invaluable foundation from which we seek answers to broader questions about our future. Our work informs vital topics, including biodiversity and climate change and concepts like identity and belonging.
