American Friends Abound
In an earlier post, I mentioned the American Friends of British Art. They are an organization that raises funds to help ongoing restoration projects across Great Britain - over 2,000 historic castles, manors and other structures are being preserved through the efforts of AFBA. It’s a wonderful group.
Now I have discovered that the AFBA isn’t the only one with solid Anglo-American ties. The V & A has a sister organization called the American Friends of the Victoria and Albert Museum.
From the website:
“The AFV&A works to strengthen the Museum’s international presence and encourage the American public to engage with this leading cultural institution.”
So be sure to check out both of these wonderful cultural organizations and donate your money or your time (maybe even your life?). It is extremely worthwhile!
