The Mad Hatter Garden Party and Design Auction is one of two annual fundraisers for The Branch Museum of Design that supports our mission to explore design in everyday life.

The proceeds from the auction are essential support for our design exhibitions, public programs, and educational efforts.

Proceeds also support the local designers and artists who have generously contributed.

Guests are encouraged to design and wear the most inventive, extravagant, and ostentatious hat.
