Honour the past and support our vibrant future

In 1986, William Johnston (1911-1986) gifted his collection and heritage buildings to the people of Victoria. Today, his incredible generosity continues to inspire all who experience The Johnston Collection. Our beautiful historic spaces, treasures of fine and decorative arts, lively lecture and event program, and the warm welcome from our volunteers and staff, transport visitors from the 'everyday' into a unique environment.

This financial year, add your support to Johnston’s legacy and vision.

Help us share stories, spark inspiration, and bring history to life for visitors of all ages.

 Your support will help us conserve and care for our precious objects and heritage spaces, deliver new object-handling programs, host expert presenters, welcome student and community groups, and inspire scholars and artists.

As an independent museum with no government funding, your gift means so much.

Like you, I’m passionate about sharing our unique cultural experiences with others. Join me and our committed team of staff and volunteers as we broaden the reach and impact of The Johnston Collection now and into the future.

I warmly invite you to support your museum, by making a donation before 30 June.

Every contribution, large or small, makes a difference. All gifts over $2 are tax deductible.

Thank you in advance for your support.
With best wishes,

Dr Louise Voll Box
CEO | The Johnston Collection
