What's involved?
We are looking for a small team of Museum Makers to join our new specialist conversation and cleaning team, The Wheelies. The role involves cleaning our carriages on the ground floor level at Stockwood Discovery Centre to conservation standards. Training will be provided on each carriage, each with their own individual cleaning requirements and plan.
As a member of The Wheelies, you will learn how to care for and delicately clean carriages using standard conversation equipment and materials. You will learn why we clean carriages the way we do and why it benefits our collection.
This Museum Maker challenge is based at Stockwood Discovery Centre. You will be required to commit a minimum of four hours, once a week.
Why get involved?
Our carriage collection is one of the most diverse privately owned collections held in a museum in Europe and is visited by people from around the world.
Caring for these important horse-drawn carriages requires a dedicated team of enthusiasts. As a member of The Wheelies, you will be actively helping towards preserving our early transport history for future generations to come.
There is potential to learn how to clean other objects within the collection, learn environmental monitoring and join the collections cleaning team, The Bug Busters.
