The Friends of the Museum

The Friends of Peterborough Museum and Art Gallery organise events and activities including lunchtime lectures and a newsletter, 'Musings'.

 

These events and activities help promote the work of the museum, and help raise funds for the purchase of new items for the collections. Recent such acquisitions have included a Norman Cross portrait (right) and a manuscript written by John Clare, which have proved valuable additions to the collection. The money was raised via the "Martin Howe Lecture', which is an annual event organised by the friends.

 

Currently the Friends are launching a 'Centurions' scheme to raise funds for an outdoor space and children's play area at the Museum.

 

The Friends lunchtime lectures comprise monthly talks open to all on subjects of historical, local or general interest, with a buffet lunch provided. We have a current programme of lunchtime lectures.
