NOTICE
The Museum is temporarily suspending accepting any donations intended for the permanent collection. We received a lot of donations in 2021, as people spent time at home due to COVID and decided to do some de-cluttering, etc.  We are very appreciative to be considered for your treasures' permanent home but now we need time to catch up on decisions regarding donations already received, as well as perform an inventory and review collection status.

We will let you know when donations will be accepted again.

Thank you!
