HMSC relies on donations to support everything we do, from content-rich classes for school groups and engaging lectures for adults, to new exhibitions and public festivals.
Recent years have presented unforeseen challenges as well as unexpected opportunities. Thanks in part to the support of our members and friends, HMSC has been able to pivot, apply creative solutions, and serve the public in new ways. With online classes, podcasts, virtual tours, and more we continue to encourage exploration across the four public museums. Your gift to HMSC will support these efforts and help us mount new exhibitions in our galleries.
