Since 1976 the Friends of the Westphalian State Museum for Art and Cultural History (Freundeskreis des Westfälischen Landesmuseums für Kunst und Kulturgeschichte e.V.) has represented an important financial and non-material support system for the museum and its ideals.
We are also pleased to have the Young Friends of the Westphalian State Museum since 2005. The Young Friends has its own structure and special programming, and aims to share with our younger visitors the pleasure of exploring art and cultural history.
