Support The Musical Museum
As an independent charity we rely on donations, admission fees and events to raise revenue and preserve our collections for the benefit of future generations. Your support can make a big difference — we are eternally grateful to all of our visitors, supporters and benefactors, who contribute towards the Museum's survival.
Ways to Help
Donations
Help the Musical Museum survive! We are eternally grateful to all of our visitors and benefactors, who contribute towards the wellbeing of the Museum. All proceeds are invested into the care of the collection and making our museum a better place for you and your family to visit.
Patrons & Membership
Our Patrons support the Museum by subscribing from just £3 per month; this income is then used to fund the operation of the Museum and the achievement of our charitable objectives. In return, we offer a number of rewards including access to live streams of concerts, free tickets, and more.
You can also apply for annual membership of the Museum, which gives you a direct say in the way that the Trust operates, as well as free admission to the Musical Museum (and the Museum of Water and Steam) for a year.
Legacies & Bequests
Gifts in wills are a great way for you to leave a lasting legacy for the places you love. Any gift, no matter how big or small, will not only support us to preserve the museum's unique collections, and help ensure we remain at the heart of Brentford’s community.
Become a Volunteer
We are run almost entirely by volunteers, who help with every aspect of the Museum's operation, including receptionists, tour guides, instrument conservation, catering, office admin, audio-visual and media presentation, facilities maintenance and more!
The Museum has won a number of awards for its volunteer programme; most recently (2025) we were nominated "Volunteering Organization of the Year" by the University of West London.
