Thank you for considering the Tennessee State Museum for your donation. Please be sure to familiarize yourself with the Museum’s Collection Scope before filing out the following form with information relating to your proposed donation. This information will be shared with an appropriate member of our curatorial team who will reply to you in a reasonable amount of time. Should there be interest in the artifact, a collections committee will consider the item(s) to assure that it complies with the mission of the Tennessee State Museum, does not duplicate items already in the collection, and helps provide a more complete representation of the history of Tennessee. Please note that due to limited storage capacity, we cannot accept every donation offered to the Museum.
The mission of the Tennessee State Museum is to procure, preserve, exhibit, and interpret objects which relate to the social, political, economic, and cultural history of Tennessee and Tennesseans, and to provide exhibitions and programs for the educational and cultural enrichment of the citizens of the state.
