Volunteer, Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Boston, MA

The Gardner Museum is a stunning 15th-century Venetian-style palace with three stories of galleries surrounding a sunlit, flower-filled courtyard. A sanctuary of beauty, the Gardner is renowned for inspiring artworks, dynamic programming – including special exhibitions of contemporary and historic art – and a commitment to ensuring that all visitors feel welcome. 

Imagine meeting visitors from near and far, answering questions about artworks and wayfinding, gathering visitor feedback, and helping people fall in love with the Gardner. You can do all of this and more as one of our volunteers at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum!

If you are someone with an open mind, who delights in learning from and interacting with all kinds of people, consider joining our volunteer program. A background in art or art history is not necessary! The volunteer schedule is flexible and includes Thursday evening and weekend shifts. 

To apply and to learn more, please join us for a required information session on Friday, May 19 from 10am – 12pm. Space is limited. To register and receive an application, or if you have questions, please contact Meghan Quigley at 617 278 5147 or via email at [email protected].

If accepted into the program, Volunteer Training will take place on Sunday, June 4, 9:30am – 1:30pm and on Thursday, June 22, 5:30pm – 9:00pm. You must be able to attend both sessions.

We look forward to seeing you at the Gardner!
