The "68 Degrees Fahrenheit" Fundraising Campaign

The Napa Valley Museum Yountville’s Board of Trustees is committed to raising $150,000 through our 68 Degrees Fahrenheit fund-a-need campaign. These funds will be used for the purchase and installation of a new HVAC climate control system that can maintain the required standard of about 55 percent relative humidity and an ideal internal temperature of approximately 68 degrees Fahrenheit to protect our Museum and collections.

In addition to maintaining comfortable year-round temperatures for our visitors and staff, the new HVAC system will increase our ability to borrow and exhibit world-class art by local and global artists, pursue prestigious exhibitions that require exacting climate control standards, and increase our eligibility for national grants and the potential to seek national museum accreditation from the Museum Accreditation Program/American Alliance of Museums. This fund-a-need campaign is supported by a leading grant from the Peter A. and Vernice H. Gasser  Foundation.
