Voluntary & Work Experience Placements
At the Victoria and Albert Museum, volunteers assist in many activities and departments. They work on the Information desks, as tour guides, as escorts for people with disabilities, and also in administrative roles in the offices.
Our information team provides a friendly and helpful welcome to all the Museum’s visitors. They give directions and answer queries, about exhibitions, displays, the collections and many other subjects.
The V&A guides are expert in introducing visitors to the Museum through informative and interesting tours. They have all followed the V&A guides training scheme, while some have had special training in assisting visitors with disabilities.
As a volunteer, you will be part of a large, friendly team and really discover the V&A. You will enjoy training, special talks and behind-the-scenes tours, as well as previews to special exhibitions and discounts in the V&A Shop and Restaurant.

A gift in your will
You may not have thought of including a gift to a museum in your will, but the V&A is a charity and legacies form an important source of funding for our work. It is not just the great collectors and the wealthy who leave legacies to the V&A. Legacies of all sizes, large and small, make a real difference to what we can do and your support can help ensure that future generations enjoy the V&A as much as you have.
