In 1993 a society of Friends of the Michaelis Collection was established.
Its aim is twofold: to stimulate interest in the collection and
the activities of the Museum, and to channel financial and active
support for its work. At a time of decreasing governmental subsidies
for cultural institutions like ours, this will help provide a much-needed
lifeline.
In return, its members receive free invitations to the exhibition
openings, lectures, concerts and to all the many other cultural
activities organized by the Friends of the Museum itself, free of
charge or at a reduced rate. They also qualify for occasional discounts
on publications, etc.
Thus members can enjoy the privilege of belonging to an
ever-growing support for one of Cape Town's most beloved cultural
institutions.
