Visionary Circle

The Visionary Circle is designed for people who care deeply about the museum’s mission to share South Carolina’s history and culture
Members of the Visionary Circle will have the opportunity to more deeply connect with the people and stories represented in the museum’s collection of more than 1.1 million objects, fossils and artwork.
By joining the Visionary Circle, you are supporting the mission of the South Carolina State Museum Foundation to help the museum preserve South Carolina’s stories, expand access to education through the Reimagine the Experience campaign and bring exciting new exhibitions to life.
