Join us in supporting arts, culture and heritage in Southampton
We are the Friends of Southampton's Museums, Archives & Galleries (FoSMAG).
We're a registered charity, founded in 1976. We support Southampton's rich heritage by assisting and promoting the work of the city's museums, archives and galleries.
​
For over 40 years we've provided financial assistance for art restoration work, purchases of museum objects, exhibition catalogues, specialist training, and much more.
​
We also help to arrange gifts and loans of artefacts, historical documents, and works of art to Southampton's public collections.

We'd love you to join us!
FoSMAG is a welcoming group of people who contribute to Southampton's culture and heritage scene through volunteering, fundraising, and events throughout the year.
​
Friends' membership benefits include discounts at selected musems, galleries, cafes and outlets in Southampton. Friends also receive a quarterly newsletter and invites to members-only social events.

If you'd like to support our work and meet up with friendly and enthusiastic people, why not become a Friend?
