Volunteer Opportunity at The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, UK*
*
The Fitzwilliam Museum has a responsibility to protect and preserve the
collections under its care for as long as possible. In order to this,
we need to understand how best to protect collections on display, while
still making them accessible to visitors and without hindering visitors’
enjoyment. To understand how effective the methods we use to deter
touching (e.g. barriers, ‘Do Not Touch’ signs), we would like to
undertake a research project. This project will involve collating
opinions from visitors and staff, as well as observing visitor behaviour
in the galleries.
Volunteer tasks: Observe the behaviour of visitors around objects, and
record the amount of times they touch objects.
Potential time involvement: The shifts are any day Tuesday - Sunday for
2.5 hours
Location: Fitzwilliam Museum, Trumpington Street, Cambridge CB2 1RB
