Association of Friends |
| |
 |
For more than 80 years the Association of Friends has supported the Otago Museum. Over the years many gifts have been made, primarily in the form of appropriate additions to the Museum’s collections. The Association plans to continue this fine tradition – your membership will help us achieve it. As individuals many Friends have also chosen to make financial contributions to the Museum during their lives, and some have left the Museum generous bequests. These thoughtful contributions make a real difference. |
