The British Museum is unique in bringing together under one roof the cultures of the world, spanning continents and oceans. No other museum is responsible for collections of the same depth and breadth, beauty and significance. More than 500 volunteers support the Museum throughout the year, in a variety of roles.
Volunteers share their knowledge and enthusiasm by delivering daily eye-opener tours, they help the public enjoy the collection in numerous other ways and support behind-the-scenes activities in almost every department. And that's just the start.
Every volunteer offers invaluable support to the Museum, and they get something back from it too.
