BEQUESTS

Have you considered making a gift in your will to Montsalvat? Montsalvat is the vision of its founder Justus Jörgensen. His will bequeathed Montsalvat in trust ‘for public educational purposes in the State of Victoria’ and established Montsalvat as a place for teaching, making and presenting art in all its forms. We can now all enjoy his generous legacy in the beautiful surroundings he created.
