Where does it take place?

Work experience with us will be based across Sheffield Museums Trust sites, including:

What will I do?

You’ll work across departments, teams and sites to gain experience of as many areas as possible. This will include spending time with our curators and our learning teams, as well as our teams who look after our visitor experience, retail, fundraising and communications. As part of your time with us we’ll ask you to keep a reflective journal documenting your experience.
