NATIONAL EXCELLENCE AND COMMUNITY IMPACT CAMPAIGN
The National Museum of Toys and Miniatures launched The National Excellence and Community Impact Campaign in 2020 to renovate and create new galleries for rotating exhibits, expand and upgrade collections’ storage for a more robust preservation environment, enhance visitor accessibility to the collection, increase opportunities for object interpretation, and increase exhibits and educational opportunities.
With the community’s generous contributions, the ambitious goal of $2.5 million has been met and exceeded, raising over $2,735,000. The Campaign’s supporters have created a lasting legacy, which will allow the Museum to continue to nurture creativity and inspire curiosity for generations to come. In alignment with the Museum’s mission, the campaign enabled a series of transformative expansions.
