American Friends of Royal Museums Greenwich
Welcome
American Friends of Royal Museums Greenwich, Inc. (AFRMG) is a U.S. nonprofit dedicated to supporting the world-class museums of Royal Museums Greenwich in London. We enable American citizens to engage with and contribute to these unique cultural treasures, ensuring world-changing stories from Greenwich inspire generations on both sides of the Atlantic.
Our organization was established in 2003 by visionary supporters in the USA and UK to foster transatlantic friendship through history, art, and science. Royal Museums Greenwich (RMG) encompasses four renowned attractions within a UNESCO World Heritage Site:
- Cutty Sark – the last surviving tea clipper ship
- National Maritime Museum – custodian to the world’s largest maritime collection
- Queen’s House – England’s first classical-style villa and an art gallery
- Royal Observatory Greenwich – home of the Prime Meridian and Greenwich Mean Time
Our work
AFRMG strives to be the bridge between American philanthropy and RMG’s innovative work.
Together with supporters like you, we have helped:
Bring RMG to America
We’ve supported traveling exhibitions and loans that have brought Greenwich’s collection to U.S. museums and galleries (allowing American audiences to experience RMG’s treasures firsthand).
Advance research & education
Contributions fund research fellowships and educational programs, sharing RMG’s expertise in maritime history, astronomy, and art with a global audience.
