All member levels receive a 10% discount on gift shop purchases.

We use Givebutter, a fundraising platform which offers a suite of tools that includes payment processing. In the widget below you will have the option to cover the standard credit card processing fee so the museum will receive 100% of the donation. You can also give a small tip to Givebutter to keep all the other suite of tools free for us to utilize.

This is not a requirement to donate to the museum.
