ASSOCIATION LIFE

Organisation
3 councils are in charge to manage the association and its activities. Commissions ( Friends , elected members or not,) are set up according to the needs.
The last general meeting took place on Saturday, February 2nd 2008 at the Museum.

The Board of Directors
It is composed of 24 members at the most (a third of it is renewed each year) and meets 4 or 5 times a year according to the bureau's will. Here is the list of the members of the Board (2008)

The Bureau
It is elected every year by the Board of Directors. It meets at least once a month and if necessary up, on the President's notification.

The Reading Committee of the Bulletin
It meets 5 or 6 times a year. It reads the different typesripts, sets up each issue and decides about the policy of the publication.

Activities
The Friends organise various activities open to the public or strictly reserved to them.

Animations at the Museum Programme
In agreement with the Museum, we participate to national events (Patrimonial European Days, Nights of the Museums,...) or local ones as The Fêtes de Bayonne… For every issue of the Bulletin (either special or not) a presentation of the articles and a meeting with the authors is organised for the public at the Museum. Since 2002, with the collaboration of the City of Bayonne and the conservatory team of the Museum, we have created the programme called TARTARO: once a month on a Wednesday afternoon we offer the young public from 7 to 11 activities (in French or Bask languages) linked to the collections of the Museum, the reserves or the temporary exhibitions.
Activities reserved to members
With the showing of their card, the Friends beneficiate of a free entrance to the Museum , guided visits and invitations to the private views of some temporary exhibitions. They organise from 4 to 6 outings a year (a whole day ) whose themes are connected to the Museum or different ones.
