Development of The Museum
The museum is run as an independent registered charity and does not receive government funding, instead depending on Friends, Patrons, and charitable Trusts, in addition to income from admission and events. In its 25th anniversary year in 2002 the museum launched a campaign to raise at least £600,000 to pay for a general overhaul of its facilities. In 2008 the interior of the museum had a total makeover and the renamed museum (now Garden Museum) opened to the public on 18 November of that year.
