National Museum offers immersive Transition Year work experience

The National Museum of Ireland is delighted to host two exciting and interactive weeklong immersive Transition Year work experiences in February 2027, delivered in Collins Barracks, Dublin 7, and Turlough Park in Co. Mayo.

What does transition year work experience at The National Museum of Ireland look like?

Over the course of five days, participants will have the opportunity to learn about the important work of preserving and presenting cultural heritage, engaging with communities and creating meaningful learning experiences, through a combination of talks and workshops with Museum staff, and hands-on activities.

This work experience is intended for students thinking about pursuing a career in the museum and cultural heritage sector, but is also suitable for students with an interest in the role of museums in modern society.
