BACK TO TOP Museum Ambassadors Museum Ambassadors share the Museum s collections and programs with the community through presentations to local clubs and organizations. Ambassadors receive special training by the Museum curators, and slides and information are provided by the Museum. The information desk is the gateway to the Museum. The Museum Store carries a wide array of jewelry, art, books, stationery, and many gift items.
Volunteers assist in showing and restocking merchandise and greeting visitors.
This is an ideal place for volunteers who like working with people and meeting the general public. TOP Staff Assistant Staff assistants work with the Museum staff in the administration office, the Clarence B. Hanson, Jr. Library , the registrar s office, the education office, or as curatorial assistants. For major exhibitions, extra volunteers are needed for ticket distribution, audio cassette rental, store sales and information desk assistance. This commitment is more flexible because it extends only for the duration of the exhibition. The Junior Volunteer program enables students ages 14 through 19 to experience the diverse world of the Birmingham Museum of Art and its programs.
