We are a county-operated museum.  As a government agency, we are tax-exempt under 170(c)1, rather than 501(c)3.  I am not sure if the internal revenue code is the same for the state.  Donations to our museum are tax deductible.  I am not certain it is the same for a state museum, but it would seem likely.
