Supporting museum collections
Since 1903 we've helped over 700 museums and galleries throughout the UK acquire thousands of great works of art from 2,000 BC to the present day for the public to enjoy.
The national fundraising charity for art
We help museums and galleries to buy and show great works of art for everyone to enjoy.

Getting art into museums is only half the story. We also help people make the most of art by supporting the sharing of collections, and through the National Art Pass - a card that gives free and discounted entry to hundreds of museums, galleries, historic houses and exhibitions.
We campaign on behalf of museums and their visitors to ensure important works of art remain on public display for future generations.
Each year we celebrate the very best UK museums and galleries by awarding a £100,000 prize for Museum of the Year.
Discover a range of funding opportunities for your museum or gallery, from helping acquire great works of art to supporting your curators to make the most of collections.
