Ripon Museums

Uncover the stories behind museum objects through hands-on collections work, helping shape exhibitions and make collections more relevant to visitors. You’ll train in textiles conservation, cataloguing, photography and conservation cleaning.

Issue tickets, handle money and answer visitors’ questions as a front desk volunteer in a welcoming museum setting. You’ll work with the front-of-house team, with full training and support from a duty manager.

Help families explore museum collections through hands-on activities, from baking Victorian foods to creating a giant snakes-and-ladders board. You’ll welcome visitors, encourage children and adults to discover ideas together, and help children take fingerprints.
