MUSEUM STORE VOLUNTEER

The Museum Store volunteers provide many services to our patrons. They assist with the selection and purchase of merchandise, maintain the neat appearance of the store and price and restock merchandise. Our volunteers also provide information about the museum and the collections, as well as general information about the surrounding Baltimore area. Our volunteers are keenly aware of the importance of a pleasant all around museum experience for every visitor. We are proud to say that interaction with our volunteer staff is a wonderful part of that experience.
