Become a member of a circle of friends
Almost all of the Foundation's institutions and collections have a circle of friends or support association. The oldest Friends' Association was founded back in 1897. By becoming a member of a friends' association, you can help the institutions to realise their diverse tasks in the long term and receive exclusive benefits in return!

With the support of the Friends, for example, special exhibitions are realised, works of art and objects are purchased to supplement the collections, restorations are financed, events are realised and much more.
As a thank you, the Friends offer their members invitations to previews, excursions, guided tours, workshop discussions, lectures and other offers - and last but not least: interesting encounters and exchanges with like-minded people!
If you would like to find out more about the Friends' Associations and are interested in becoming a member, please contact the respective association directly.
Some associations also appeal to young friends and offer lower membership fees as well as their own exciting programmes.
