Since its founding in 2009, AFMO has been based in both Paris and New York.

The Paris office works closely with the teams at the Musée d’Orsay and the Musée de l’Orangerie to initiate fundraising initiatives in Paris and beyond. All year long, the team hosts private tours and events for members to discover the museums’ permanent collections and temporary exhibitions. They also take advantage of the Paris art life and heritage to further contextualize the collections of both the Orsay and the Orangerie with offsite private visits and walking tours.

The New York office drives fundraising initiatives across the U.S. and develops an event calendar in conjunction with the program and events at the Orsay and the Orangerie, including when exhibitions travel to America. They also open doors to discover private collections and art studios.

Every October, AFMO holds a fundraising weekend in Paris, with a four-day program that includes private visits and tours as well as a gala evening at the Musée d’Orsay. The gala weekend attracts American patrons who travel to Paris in support of the two Musées.

Young patrons can join AFMO and enjoy special access to both the Orsay and Orangerie museums, as well as events including the annual Gala in Paris.
