Legacy

Leaving a gift in your will 

From restoring world-famous art to educating young people or conserving our park land, gifts in wills are used right at the heart of our work. Please consider leaving a legacy to help look after this place that you love.

Together, we can bring people closer to The Bowes Museum and ensure our history continues to inspire. 

Why gifts in wills are important 

Without gifts in wills The Bowes Museum wouldn’t be able to protect and look after everything in our care. Any legacy, no matter how large or small, makes a lasting difference. 

Gifts in wills support conservation experts to protect the Museum, our young people’s education programme, caring for our beautiful building and parkland and so much more. Together, we can look after history for generations to come. 

How your gift will help 

Your gift will only be used for the purpose you intend for generations to come. Every penny of your gift will help.
