Exclusively for partners and patrons
Since the MMFA is not a government-run museum, it must finance a large percentage of its own operations. The donations the Museum Foundation receives from the institution’s many partners and patrons are a vital source of revenue that help secure and grow the MMFA’s future. To this end, several event spaces are available exclusively to Museum partners and donors for a minimum donation of $25,000.
Please note we do not accept requests for private events, such as weddings, birthdays, dance parties, photo sessions or film shoots.
For more information, please contact us at: evenements@mbamtl.org
