Bequests

A special type of gift is a gift made through an estate. For instance in 2006, the Stichting Vrienden received an entire mansion through an inheritance that currently houses the Restoration Studio. But also many smaller bequests over the past 60 years have made it possible for the museum to now exhibit the world’s most important collection of mechanical musical instruments. The appraised value of the object is applied to the tax deduction. The calculation method for objects is the same as for financial gifts.
