Annual support from the Benefactors of the Wallace Collection makes it possible for us to pursue our most crucial activities such as research, conservation, educational programmes and temporary exhibitions. As part of the Wallace Collection family, Benefactors are invited to join Director, Dr Christoph Vogtherr, and the curators to explore the rich cultural history assembled within the Collection.
