Circle of Friends

MIM’s Circle of Friends is a new model for donor-based support that ensures fiscal responsibility while maintaining affordability for our guests. The Circle comprises MIM’s premier group of individual and corporate donors who contribute annually to support the museum’s ongoing work.

The Circle of Friends serves MIM in lieu of a traditional membership program. Friends enjoy a variety of benefits that include free admission passes; Museum Store discounts; invitations to exclusive events; and special access to MIM’s collections, exhibits, and expert staff. 

MIM relies on the support of our friends to help with operating costs not covered by the admission price—functions such as maintaining state-of-the-art technology; restoring instruments; and offering special exhibits, programs, and events at no additional charge.

We hope you will join this vital part of the museum family and make your gift to MIM—the most extraordinary museum you'll ever hear!
