Our volunteers are vital in supporting the Museum's work. We have a range of exciting opportunities for you to get involved both with the public and behind the scenes.
More than 500 people donate their time to engage visitors in our galleries and support our scientists and the collections.
Our volunteering, internship and work experience programmes are designed to inspire and benefit those taking part as much as they support the Museum. All opportunities have flexible commitment requirements and aim to provide a rewarding and enriching experience for all.
