About Day of Giving

Let your generosity bloom! On Thursday, October 8, the Walters Art Museum is celebrating its fifth annual Day of Giving. To commemorate the 92nd birthday of our museum and its conservation lab, the third oldest in the country, we invite you to make a tangible impact on the objects in our collection that need pressing treatment and research with a gift of any size.

The Walters' extraordinary collection encompasses some 36,000 objects that span more than seven millennia. Protecting and preserving these objects is a vital part of the museum's mission to bring art and people together for enjoyment, discovery, and learning.

The Walters Day of Giving is the perfect opportunity to come together with other art lovers and give a gift to the next generation of museum visitors. This year, we're asking for your help to reach our goal of raising $30,000 in one day toward this critical conservation work.

Every gift makes an impact and supports the work of the conservation team at the Walters. Make your contribution today!
