This year we were not able to host an event at the museum, so all of our fabulous auction items are online! Support the museum by bidding today! Forward this information to your friends and encourage them to bid too.

Make a donation today!

A generous member has also issued a matching gift challenge to help the museum through these difficult times. This member will match the first $20,000 in charitable donations that we receive! You can help us meet this goal by using the auction’s donation page or sending a check to the museum.
