Imagine being the guide who opens the doors to inspiration, curiosity, and discovery. Your warm smile and helpful presence can turn a simple visit into a memorable experience for every guest.

Gallery Monitor
Our gallery monitors play a crucial role in ensuring the safety and enjoyment of both the artworks and our visitors.
A gallery monitor's duties include maintaining a watchful eye on the gallery, helping to protect the exhibits from accidental damage or theft, and making sure that all museum rules and regulations are followed. You will be available to answer visitors' questions, provide information about the works on display, and offer guidance on the where to find things in the museum. Additionally, you'll assist in maintaining a quiet and respectful atmosphere, ensuring that visitors have a rewarding and educational experience.
As a gallery monitor, your presence is vital in preserving the cultural treasures within the museum, and your passion for art and history can be a source of inspiration for all who walk through our doors. It's a role that combines vigilance, and education, making it a rewarding and enriching opportunity.
