Society of Friends of the Vitromusée Romont
The Society
The Society of Friends of the Vitromusée Romont supports the museum in all its activities, in particular, by providing support for the acquisition of works of art or objects intended to constitute or complete its collections and by supporting the museum’s cultural mediation offers such as the rich programme of Vitroateliers.
