Volunteer Opportunities

Join the volunteer community at Medici Museum and help our visitors enjoy art. We welcome enthusiastic and engaging volunteers. The rewards of volunteering at Medici Museum of Art are learning about art and special exhibitions from experienced curators and educators, finding friends who share an interest in art and education; and the great satisfaction of helping others connect with art that inspires them. Join us!

There are different kinds of volunteer opportunities at Medici:

Museum Visitor Services

Volunteers must be able to assist and greet visitors at the gallery information desk and assist with Museum events and programs. We are looking for volunteers to help set up and tear down for special events.

Guided Tour Volunteers

Museum guides introduce school students (grades K–12) or adult visitors to Medici’s exhibitions, making works of art meaningful, accessible, and often inspiring. Guides select and research artworks from the extensive collection and engage visitors in one-hour conversations offering context and enhancing understanding.

We are currently accepting applications for new volunteers who we train to lead tours for school or adult groups at Medici. Candidates of all backgrounds and abilities are welcome. No prior training in art history is required. Training is conducted by the Museum's educators, curators, and associate director, who present the latest scholarship, as well as the accumulated knowledge of the artist on display. Training sessions include lectures by curators, discussions, workshops, written assignments, and oral presentations. Training for new guides joining in 2021–22 may include both virtual and in-person sessions.

Museum Shop Sales Clerk

Outgoing individuals are needed in the Museum Shop! A customer service or retail background is desirable. Volunteers are asked to assist on a weekly basis.
