It is unimaginable to think of the Philadelphia Museum of Art without the gifts and bequests of masterworks donated by public-spirited individuals and organizations over more than 130 years. Over 90 percent of the works of art in the Museum's world-renowned collections were acquired as gifts—an extraordinary testament to the generosity of distinguished collectors over the past thirteen decades.

There are a number of ways in which collectors can give works of art:

• as an outright gift
• as an irrevocable promised gift
• as the gift of a percentage of value over a time period designated by the giver
• as a bequest
