lots more. Come join us, be a part of history. Docent training is
ongoing throughout
the year. Becoming
a docent does not require
any prior expertise
in architecture, history
or museum work, but
it does demand a serious
commitment and enthusiasm.
Expand your horizons
and meet energetic
people with a common
interest. Once you
complete docent training,
you will share your
knowledge with visitors
from all over the world! If being a docent is not your cup of tea, we have other volunteer opportunities in the museums, the foundation office, special events, children's education and research in the field. We'd love to hear from you! |
