Renaissance Society

he Renaissance Society of the Higgins Armory Museum is made up of individuals, families, corporations and foundations that contribute $1,000 or more to the Museum's Annual Appeal.

The Museum, which is internationally recognized and is the only institution of its kind in the entire western hemisphere, is described by the American Association of Museums as "a place of national significance...with superb collections". The Education Department is highly regarded for its excellence by educators throughout the six-state New England region and beyond. And as the core of the Museum's mission, education and programs are responsible for the largest segment of the annual operating budget.

Accordingly, members of the Renaissance Society take satisfaction and pride in the knowledge that their annual contribution is dedicated to maintaining and expanding this tradition of excellence. The Museum continues to look for meaningful ways to express appreciation to Renaissance Society members throughout the year for the friendship, loyalty and support they provide through their generosity. Please call Diana Judge in the Membership Office at (508) 853-6015 ext. 12 for more information.
