Join Us

Being a volunteer guide at Muzium Negara is fun and rewarding. You learn the history of Malaysia in a supportive environment, develop in-depth knowledge of the artefacts on display at the museum, and you then get to share your knowledge with visitors to the museum. Train with us and become part of this amazing experience.

Training to be a Volunteer
Send an email to mvjmmqueries@gmail.com if you are interested in volunteering with us. We will keep you informed on the next training session and invite you to attend a Coffee Morning where you will get to meet Volunteer Guides as well as answer any questions you may have.

There is no restriction on the nationality of the applicants, but all applicants must be above 18 years old. The courses are delivered in English and Japanese. There is also a French language group and a Korean language group that organise tours in French and Korean respectively.

  4. I see from your response to Shamimi (above) that a training course for volunteers commenced in February 2017 (rather than the apparently usual month of September). Will there be another training course in February 2018?

    1. Hello Patrick. The next training course will be in September 2018. We had a number of reasons for conducting the training in Feb this year (2017) but will revert to Sept from next year onward. Do forward your name to mvjmmqueries@gmail.com and we will keep you posted on the training dates. Hope to see you next year!
