There are several suggested museum objects available to adopt although we are happy to add others if you have a particular wish to adopt something else. 
The money raised through this scheme helps fund important projects at the museum, such as the conservation of our collection and the purchase of important objects.
Adults can adopt museum objects for £15. Children can adopt museum objects for £5.

When you adopt an object, you will receive:

• An adoption letter and an adoption certificate
• Regular email newsletters from the museum
• Your name on the object’s label for a whole year (unless you choose to remain anonymous).

You can adopt an object for someone else, maybe as a gift – just give us their name and details on the application form so that we can prepare their adoption certificate.
Browse the list of objects from the ones below and choose which one you’d like to adopt. If there is something else that is on display that you want to adopt then we are happy to consider adding this to our list.
Each object may be adopted by more than one person.
