Museum educator

A museum educator develops and delivers the programs that help visitors learn from a museum's collections and exhibits. They design tours, workshops, classes, and activities for school groups, families, and the public, train docents, create educational materials, and make the museum's content engaging and accessible to diverse audiences.

The role blends education with subject expertise and public engagement, bringing collections to life through teaching. Museum educators work at art, history, science, and other museums.

The job suits knowledgeable, engaging, creative people who love their subject and enjoy teaching diverse audiences, and who want to help visitors connect with and learn from the objects and ideas a museum holds.
