Give to Our Annual Appeal

An eye-catching jewel in an oklad, a detail from a miracle, the facial expression of a saint (or sinner): no matter how many times you visit our museum, there is always something new to discover in our unique permanent collection. 

We want to give our collection the best possible care. Some of our icons are in urgent need of restoration. The work of a professional conservator is essential but costly. Your gift will support conservation, as well as other fundamental needs, so that our icons stay on display at the Museum for many years to come. 

For these ancient works, there’s no time like the present. 

To reach our goal of $25,000, the Brose Hie Hill Foundation and generous board members have pledged to match any gifts to the Annual Appeal of $100 and above. 

Support The Gordon B. Lankton Collections Fund

Gordon Lankton was a studious and passionate collector. Through business trips to Moscow, he came to love Russian culture, and the sacred Eastern Christian art of the icon. To continue his legacy, the Museum has created the Gordon B. Lankton Collections Fund, which will ensure his vision is shared by visitors from all walks of life and worldwide.
