Financial contributions, big or small, are very welcome, as are special additions to our collection. Management and conservation of the collection costs time and money. The Zeeuws Museum therefore retains the right not to accept proposed gifts of works of art. Even in these cases, we greatly value your support.

  • One-off or periodical donations by means of an agreement or notarial act. Tax benefits are usually greater with periodical donations.
  • Establish your own fund. With donations of €50,000 or more you can determine the aims and the name of the fund. You will, of course, be personally involved in deciding how your funds are spent.
