The Burke Museum collection requires regular care and conservation to ensure its survival. You can help us achieve this by adopting an object, a shop in our Street of Shops or even an entire collection or special exhibition.

Individuals, businesses, families or clubs can adopt an object as part of the Friends of the Burke Adoption Program by contacting the Burke Museum at [email protected] or 03 5728 8067.

Adoptions last for five years and begin as low as $50, depending on your choice of object.

Adopters will receive an adoption certificate and will be identified on or near the item.

Funds raised will be shared between conserving the collection and exhibition development.
