Overlooking the museum’s entire campus, the belvedere in the E.

Glasgow Society

VMFA recognizes all those who make a planned gift to the museum with membership in the Glasgow Society, formerly the Heritage Society.

New Endowments

A strong endowment is the very core of the museum’s financial foundation.
