Besides its role as owner and lender of historic Amsterdam collections, since 2010 the Genootschap has been committed to developing and promoting an organization of private collectors who are active in the Amsterdam Museum’s various collection areas, for the purpose of sharing knowledge and networking. Together the Foundation and the museum organize “funnels” for this network, which are arranged according to the table principle. Currently these tables are Numismatics, Silver, Ceramics, Textiles, and Prints & Drawings.

Over the long term, the Genootschap fosters collector involvement in terms of research, ideas for exhibitions, and inventorying and maintenance of the Amsterdam Museum’s collection, as well as opportunities for loans, donations, or bequests.

Since its founding in 1960, the financial resources of The Society have been devoted to securing historical objects for the Amsterdam Museum. Both the Amsterdam Museum and the Society have cultural ANBI status. Would you like to know more about how you, through the Society, can contribute to the Amsterdam Museum for the acquisition and restoration of historical objects? If so, please contact Eliane Boreel, Development Officer and contact person of the Society at genootschap@amsterdammuseum.nl.

If you would like more information about the Genootschap, donate to the Genootschap or would like to join one of the tables, please contact Eliane Boreel at genootschap@amsterdammuseum.nl.
