Welcome
To our website.
The Friends of the Doncaster Museums is a charitable organisation supporting Doncaster’s museums, art gallery and archives.
We raise funds to acquire and preserve objects for these institutions, helping to build on their important work.
Our group organises educational activities, and events for its members, to stimulate interest in the arts, history and heritage within Doncaster and surrounding area.
