Poole Museum Foundation

The Poole Museum Foundation is the engine room behind so many of the brilliant things that happen at Poole Museum - from raising vital funds to care for our precious objects, or dreaming up new aquisitions and helping keep our doors open to everyone.

 

And now, they'd love you to be part of the story.

Become a Museum Maker

 

Come and join a fantastic community of people who want to help shape the museum’s future. 

 

There’s no membership card, no secret handshake, and definitely no velvet rope. Just an open, welcoming invitation to get involved in ways that suit you.

 

Maybe you’d like to make a one-off donation, or perhaps you’d like to explore options to regularly support Poole Museum.

 

You might be a business wanting to champion local culture, or someone who loves the idea of backing a particular exhibition or project.

 

All support is VERY much appreciated and helps to keep both Poole Museum and Scaplen’s Court free to enter for everyone.

Make museum magic happen!

 

However you choose to help, the Foundation is here to make your support go further, turning generosity into conservation, creativity, learning, and moments of 'wow' across the museum.

 

Every Museum Maker helps us protect Poole’s stories and spark curiosity in visitors of all ages. And together, through the Poole Museum Foundation, we can keep our heritage alive, joyful, and accessible for everyone.
