Volunteer membership
As a volunteer in a museum, gallery or historic site, we can offer you a wider view of the sector and some great benefits, including magazines, training and free entry into hundreds of museums.
We are the largest museum and heritage organisation in the UK, and with over 300 volunteer members we know what’s important to you.
Keeping you informed
Museums Journal, our monthly magazine, is the sector’s most authoritative publication, ensuring you keep in touch with the latest news, reviews and analysis. You also have access to regularly updated Museum Practice content - practical advice across the full range of museum activities.
Improving your skills
We run an extensive programme of training events and conferences, as well as our professional development schemes. These events are available to volunteer members at a greatly reduced rate and will help increase your knowledge and skills, as well as providing important networking opportunities.
Helping your career
Volunteering is often the first step to a job in the sector. We offer the best jobs in our magazine, online, and in monthly emails. Reading our publications is vital for a broad understanding of the sector and in preparation for those all-important job interviews.
