Thanks to your incredible support, we’re off to a strong start! But with only one week to reach our £75,000 match-fund target, we need your help.

Double your impact today

Every donation made to the Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ Fund until 8 December is being generously match-funded by the Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ Fund Leaders. This means every pound, dollar, euro you give will be doubled, helping us raise an incredible £150,000 to support critical areas of need across the Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ.

Support our exceptional art collection

In 1932, visionary philanthropist Samuel Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ gifted his remarkable collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist masterpieces to establish the Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ Gallery. His mission was simple yet profound: to make great art accessible to all. Today, we proudly continue that mission.

At the heart of the Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ Gallery lies a world-class collection featuring icons of art history, including Manet’s A Bar at the Folies-Bergère (1882), Van Gogh’s Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear (1889), and Cézanne’s Montagne Sainte-Victoire (c.1887).

Every gift makes a difference

Your gift today will go twice as far in helping us study, care for and display our collection. It will also directly support our generous programme of loans, which serves audiences across the United Kingdom and internationally.

As custodians of this extraordinary legacy, our curators, conservators, registrars and technicians work tirelessly to ensure that the collection continues to inspire and delight audiences, now and for generations to come.

Thank you for supporting our future.

Dr Ernst Vegelin van Claerbergen (PhD 1999)
Head of the Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ Gallery
