"As a Friend, you are close to the collection, you support purchases and are the first to view the new acquisitions. It is always a special experience!"
John Soliana
"I became a Friend of the Allard Pierson because I like to be surprised by the beauty and diversity of its collections. I think it is important that this inexhaustible font of knowledge and stories is shared with future generations.
In addition, it is always very pleasant to meet like-minded people at the Friends' meetings, and I also enjoy being able to be closely involved in the sounding board groups."
Eveline van Nierop
As a Friend, you make an annual donation to the Allard Pierson. For administrative reasons, this can only be done by direct debit from 2025. Your contribution is used to maintain and expand the collections, to carry out restorations and develop educational programmes and public activities.
All Friends enjoy the same membership benefits. The advantage of being a Friend with guest privileges is that you can bring a guest with you for a regular visit to the museum at any time. An ideal choice if you want to share your passion for history, art and science with others!
We warmly invite you to bring a family member or an acquaintance, who is not yet a Friend of the museum, to a Friends' Meeting. It provides a great opportunity for your guest to become acquainted with the museum and it is an enjoyable way of sharing a common interest, together with like-minded people. Double the fun!
Depending on the event, your guest can attend for free or at a discount. More information is to be found in each invitation.
You certainly can! As a Gastronomic Friend, you contribute to the preservation and expansion of one of the largest gastronomic collections in Europe: the History of Food collection of the Allard Pierson. Read more about contributing as a Gastronomic Friend here.
Become a Friend too!
And join us and other Friends in inspiring people of all ages to discover new perspectives, look more critically at the world, and understand how the past shapes our present and future.
