Museum of Communication
- VO100917
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 Museum Collections Volunteers.
The museum has permanent collections and temporary exhibitions that attract visitors from across Fife and beyond. Their current volunteers have interests in construction, restoration and operation of radio, telephone, television, clock and scientific electronic equipment, from real experts to complete beginners. As a Museum Collections Volunteer, you can maintain and test equipment, source and restore items, and learn from others about the collections within the museum=um.
If you would like to gain experience in a museum, meet people with interests like yours, and gain access to specialised equipment, this is the perfect role for you.
