  National Gallery of Art, Ireland

  Oct 2019 - Jul 2022

  Tour Guide

  Tour Guides at the National Gallery work in collaboration with the education department to share knowledge and appreciation with the amazing national collection. A key goal is accessibility and making the gallery a place where anyone can visit. The research portion of the position gives each guide so much freedom to explore the collection and archives in order to create a tour that reflects your research interests and passions. We also get the opportunity to give Pop-Up Talks on particular aspects of the collection, which require more detailed research and a more 'lecture-like' tone. Show less
