The SAMO Gala Dinner
Each year, the Société des Amis des Musées d’Orsay et de l’Orangerie (SAMO) brings together enthusiastic connoisseurs and notable figures in the art world for a gala evening. Its objective is to support the public establishment in enriching its national collections.
This prestigious annual gathering for the Société des Amis des Musées d’Orsay et de l’Orangerie has taken place since 2011, thanks to the initiative of the Count of Ribes. The SAMO Gala Dinner reunites refined connoisseurs, collectors and notable figures in the art world, patrons and philanthropists who provide their support to the Orsay and Orangerie Museums. Organized each year around the exhibit taking place at the Orsay Museum, the Gala Dinner has become an indispensable Parisian event.
The funds collected at each Gala Dinner are used towards the purchase of a work of art to enrich the Orsay Museum’s collection.

The Young Patrons’ Cocktail
Since 2022, the SAMO has organized a cocktail at the Orangerie Museum, bringing together notably young patrons – art lovers that are passionate of the Paul Guillaume and Jean Walter collection. A patronage event, this cocktail also allows to raise funds to acquire works of art that are aligned with the Orangerie Museum.
Organized around the exhibit taking place, the first edition in 2020 was held around the “David Hockney: A Year in Normandie” and “Chaïm Soutine / Willem de Kooning, Embodied Painting” exhibits.
