Membership - Bergstrom-Mahler Museum

Membership

Bergstrom-Mahler Museum is a 501 (c) 3 private, non-profit organization whose mission in part is to foster an appreciation and understanding of our Permanent Collections.
By becoming a member, you provide financial support that helps us ensure free public access for research, education, or pure enjoyment, of our world-renowned paperweight collection and other glass collections. Our paperweight collection consists of over 2140 paperweights: 1045 of which are on permanent display, 180 on annual rotation, 800 in open storage, and only 120 de-accessed in almost 50 years. We are truly the "Mecca" for paperweight lovers.

Our Membership is made up of individuals, families, and corporations that support the Museum and participate in the many programs it has to offer. Find a category that's right for you!

Leave a Legacy

As we start a new year some of us reflect on the previous year to assess what we have accomplished and what we hope to improve.

Berstrom-Mahler Museum was built on those reflections of life's accomplishments and what is left as a testament to our hardwork for the benefit of a larger community. We hope you feel pleased with what this generosity has produced and consider assisting in maintaing this marvelous contribution to the community for future generations.
