The gift that lets history live on

Delight someone with a year's Membership this Christmas – and help preserve two million years of human history.

As well as opening up a range of exclusive benefits, such as unlimited entry to exhibitions, Membership supports the vital work of the Museum.

By giving Membership as a gift you will enable us to continue to look after the collection, share it within the UK and around the world, and conduct research that illuminates our understanding of cultures past and present.

Preserving the collection

Your gift of Membership will allow our dedicated team of conservators to continue to care for objects in the collection.

In 2020, Membership support enabled us to conserve and research the Lewis Chessmen, the totem poles on display in the Great Court, and the Museum's pre-Columbian Andean textile collection.
