MACO, the Museum of Oriental Art and Culture, is a small private cultural heritage institution that depends exclusively for its survival on the support of our patrons and volunteers. Your support and donations are essential in helping us to continue to bring our services to the public and conserving the Namkhai Collection for future generations.

Your gift of support can take many forms, from offering your time as a volunteer for the Museum to providing an endowment, to ensure the future of the MACO.

​

You could also consider supporting one of our projects for 2021:

​

​Beyond the Jade Gate a Silk Road Pilgrimage: is a series of new displays which represents our first major renewal of the permanent  exhibitions on the ground floor of the MACO.

For a short introduction to this project, which will become a part of the relief map installation, visit our Youtube channel.

​

Research Space: The startup funding provided by the Union of Italian Buddhists (UBI) for our collaboration with the British Museum, will run out at the end of this year. 

Your support is essential for the long-term success of this project and will permit us to use the Research Space platform to enrich the Namkhai Collection with detailed annotations, associated resources and link the treasures held in the Namkhai Collection, to the holdings of other cultural  institutions, such as the British Museum. With your help we will be able to share and preserve the Namkhai Collection for future generations. For more information about this project and how you can help, please feel free to contact us.

​

The Catalogue of the Namkhai Collection: this will be our first major venture into publishing. This project will be greatly facilitated by the Research Space platform.
