Museum Hosts
Museum Hosts (MHs) are volunteers who provide a variety of valuable services and contributions to the museum. The roles of MHs range from front-desk assistance to supporting the museum's programmes and festivals, as well as acting as ambassadors of the museum and helping to enhance the visitor experience through meaningful interactions.
MHs undergo a six-week orientation and training programme to equip them with the essential skills and knowledge to fully support the museum's initiatives, understand our operational aspects, familiarise themselves with our galleries and meet the needs of different visitors. MHs add a personal touch to the visitor experience.
