The Foundation
THE FARMO, the Society of Friends’ Foundation
Founded in April 2020 by the SAMO under the auspices of the Fondation de France, the Fondation des Amis pour le Rayonnement des Musées d’Orsay et de l’Orangerie (Foundation of Friends for the Advancement of the Orsay and Orangerie Museums), also known as the FARMO, fulfills a mission that is distinct from, yet complementary to, that of the SAMO.
The FARMO supports projects serving the public interest, particularly advocating for research, education, and widening access to culture within the two museums.
Its projects focus on sharing and transmitting art and culture in order to make them accessible to all audiences.
The FARMO’s Executive Committee is composed of nine members, including seven founders and philanthropists who believe in the central role of art in our societies.

The Fondation des Amis pour le Rayonnement des Musées d’Orsay et de l’Orangerie is:
