Our volunteers are vital in supporting the Museum’s work. We have a range of opportunities for you to get involved both with the public and behind-the-scenes.
Our volunteer, community service, internship and work experience programs are designed to benefit those taking part as much as they support the Museum. All opportunities have flexible commitment requirements and aim to provide an enriching experience for all.
