Museum of Communication
- VO100912
The Museum of Communication aims to study, collect, preserve and exhibit items that tell the story of communication from the days of pre-electric telegraph to the latest state-of-the-art technology. The museum is run entirely by volunteers, and they are looking to grow their team with Visitor Guides.
As a Visitor Guide, you will speak with members of the public that come to the museum, guide them through and explain exhibitions, and answer any questions that they have about items in the museum. The museum has permanent exhibitions as well as new temporary exhibitions every summer. Visitors come from across Fife and beyond to see their collections and guides have the opportunity to speak to a wide range of visitors.
If you would like to gain experience in a museum environment and enjoy engaging with people and history, this is the perfect role for you.
Experience required
Museum of Communication is looking for volunteers who are confident communicating with members of the public and willing to learn about the exhibitions within the museum.
