Work Experience
The museum is committed to providing valuable and structured work experience to help build key skills and inform students’ future career choices. Throughout the week, students will gain confidence and knowledge working behind the scenes on a range of activities including collections cataloguing and care, schools and learning, front of house and social media. Students should apply at least four weeks before their placement is due to start. Please contact the museum for further information and availability.
