Museum Circle

Be among the Museum's closest friends

The Museum Circle is an independent charitable trust founded in 2001 with the specific aim of supporting the Auckland Museum. 

In the past 10 years the Museum Circle has successfully carried out two major capital raising campaigns for the Museum - Names in Stone and With a View to the Future - raising upwards of 4 million dollars.

The Museum Circle has now established an Endowment Fund.

Members develop a special relationship with the Museum. With three levels of participation, the Circle offers members the opportunity to establish a level of involvement that suits them personally, whilst providing a wonderful range of activities, social functions and spectacular custom-designed trips to cultural destinations around the world.
