Patron Membership

from $370.00

Becoming a Patron via the California & Northwest Chapters is a wonderful way to support the ongoing conservation and restoration of works in the Vatican Museums - your membership helps to fund restoration and preservation efforts across the collections.

As a Patron, we have a variety of ways to express our sincere gratitude! When you come to visit the Museums in Rome, we would like to welcome you with exceptional access and outstanding hospitality. You will be able to see not only the projects that you have adopted, but will be given an unparalleled experience in Vatican City with behind the scenes access. And when you’re at home, we have a variety of special events and opportunities in California and the Pacific Northwest throughout the year!

Your membership is based on the calendar year, so all 2026 memberships will expire on 12/31/2026.

Note: California & Northwest Chapter Patron and Restorer Family memberships include an immediate household as well as dependent children under 21.
