Our expert curator has identified a select range that represents our most prized and valuable items in the collection. Only through the exclusive Burns 250 Collection will you have the opportunity to be a conservator of an item of your choice from this unique selection.

Romantics can have their name linked with a love letter written in the poet’s hand. Music enthusiasts can contribute to the care of the poet’s guitar, and art lovers can revel in the array of striking portraits and sculptures associated with the bard.

Within each category you can select the item you wish to conserve, make your donation and join the growing number of people who want to celebrate this most inspirational writer by donating to our unique collection.

The gift categories are £5,000+, £10,000+, £20,000+ and £50,000+. You will receive the certificate, named recognition and, for gifts over £10,000, an invitation the museum opening in 2010.
