Collection Donations
T/m is grateful for the many donation inquiries we receive. Regrettably, we cannot accept everything that is offered. Because space and staff time is limited, objects proposed for donation are rigorously reviewed by T/m’s Collections Committee before being accepted.
WHEN DOES T/M CONSIDER DONATIONS?
T/m considers donations between November 1 and April 30.
HOW DOES T/M DECIDE WHAT TO ACCEPT?
T/m’s Collection Committee accepts objects that fill a collection void, have an interesting provenance, are rare, or are in excellent condition.
CAN I DROP OFF MY OBJECT FOR REVIEW?
T/m is unable to review objects without prior arrangements.
CAN T/M APPRAISE MY OBJECT?
Due to ethical concerns, T/m does not conduct appraisals. Visit the International Society of Appraisers at isa-appraisers.org to find resources regarding appraisers.
