The Friends is a society for people who are interested in Arts & Crafts and Design. It was founded in 1917, with Prince Eugene as the honorary president. The year before, the Museum - which was then entitled Röhsska Konstslöjdmuseet - had opened to the public. 
    The objectives of the society are to "purchase valuable craft products" and "to hand these over as gifts" to the collections of the Museum. This is quoted from the original statues of the society, which are still in force. 
    The Friends can also promote activities at the Museum in other ways and have received donations, for example, which have permitted scholarships to be awarded to Museum personnel to be used for scientific education and research, or for study journeys.

In order to increase its opportunities for supporting the Museum, the Friends set up a Jubilee Fund in 1992, when it celebrated its 75:th anniversary, to which gifts and donations of all sizes are welcomed.
The society organises special showings of some exhibitions for its members.
Members also have free entrance to the Museum and are given continual information about the activities there.
