Support Us
Giving to The Hunterian
No matter the size, every donation supports our collection and activities.
Objects Tell Stories
Help us keep telling them.
For over 200 years, The Hunterian has stood at the heart of Glasgow’s cultural life. As Scotland’s oldest public museum, our collections and spaces connect people with stories, inspire curiosity and encourage creativity in Glasgow and beyond. But we need your help.
Every object we care for, exhibition, teaching session and community activity comes at a cost. Your support creates real, lasting impact and opportunity for generations to come.
Your gift, big or small, will make a huge difference, so thank you.
