While i've been volunteering at a local museum
its been important to know your audience
- Despite your knowledge of the subject matter - there will always be 1 who supposedly knows it better than you. If you can - give them the floor
- Know where everything is - from the loos to the cafeteria
- Know your little objects as well as your big ones
- There are 7 large objects in the museum i volunteer at and hundreds of others spread in a space which has 6 separate areas
- Children tend to jump headlong into an question - so point them in the right direction
- Geography wins over History every time - so when you're directing use the zones you have
4. Finally - DONT PANIC
5 Final Finally - ENJOY IT - you might get some credit for your work!
