This fun and engaging day will provide an insight into what it’s like to work for London Museum as we prepare to open a brand-new site in central London. Our bite-sized sessions will focus on different areas of the organisation and give you the chance to ask staff about their roles, career paths and tips on getting into the heritage industry.

Role Spotlights: hear about a day in the life of a Curator, Designer and Archaeologist.

 

Interactive Workshops: Participate in workshops with our Marketing, Development and Learning teams to find out how they engage with different audiences.

 

Live Q&A Session: Ask our museum experts anything you want about their roles, career journeys and routes into the profession.

  

 

Who Should Apply?

 

This opportunity is perfect for students, history buffs, aspiring museum professionals, or anyone curious about the inner workings of a major cultural institution. No prior experience is needed—just a love for learning and discovery!

 

The day will run from 10am – 3pm on Wednesday 20th November. Join online from home or school!
