Museums and galleries - loans, donations and bequests

Do you want to donate or loan to your local museum or archive?

Donations
If you have an item of historical interest, which relates to the history of the local area and would like to donate it to us, please contact Brent Museum either by e-mail museum@brent.gov.uk or by phone 020 8937 3600/3602 if it is an object.

If you have records, documents or photographs please contact Brent Archive either by e-mail on archive@brent.gov.uk or by phone 020 8937 3541.

You should call the museum or archive in advance to discuss your donation and arrange a time to come in. Please do not bring items in without an appointment, as we cannot always accept them over the desk.

We are always keen to collect items from any of Brent's diverse communities.

We will make a decision on whether to accept your offer based on existing collections, our collecting priorities, legislation and council policy. If we are not able to accept the item, we may be able to put you in touch with someone who can.

Bequests
If you are thinking of making a bequest, it is advisable to get in touch with the museum or archive to discuss the most effective way of doing this.
