Museum Volunteers
Museum volunteers are an integral part of our day to day activities contributing around 1000 hours per year. They work in:
- The art gallery as exhibition volunteers in a variety of roles from set up and break down of exhibitions to assisting with opening functions
- As heritage walk guides escorting visitors on an hour-long loop walk close to the museum taking in points of historical interest
- In the Ora Garden carrying out fine weeding and keeping this gold-medal winning garden up to scratch for our visitors
- With research and display development/cataloguing, filing and scanning and many other tasks.
How to Volunteer

In recognition of the several hundred voluntary hours given to the Museum in 2010, the volunteers enjoyed Christmas morning tea in the Ora Garden in December.
