Discover the Joys of Museum Guiding: Be a Volunteer at Muzium Negara!
Ever wondered what it’s like to walk through the halls of history every day? Being a Volunteer Guide at Muzium Negara is as rewarding as it is fun. It’s more than just a role; it’s a journey where you dive deep into the vibrant tapestry of Malaysian history within a supportive, like-minded community.

As a Volunteer Guide, you’ll master the stories behind our national treasures and gain the confidence to share that knowledge with visitors from around the globe. Train with us and become the voice of our heritage.

How to Begin Your Journey?
Ready to step up? Drop us an email at mvjmmqueries@gmail.com and we will keep you informed on the next training session. To start your journey, you will attend one of our Information Morning sessions, where you will get to meet current Museum Volunteers, hear their stories and get your questions answered.

Who Can Apply?
We invite anyone with a passion for history and museums to join our community. You should be 18 or older and living in Malaysia (local or expatriate). Since our training is in English, proficiency is necessary to participate in the program. Within our community of Museum Volunteers, we also have dedicated language groups of Volunteer Guides, providing scheduled museum tours in Japanese, French, Korean, Malay and Mandarin.

We warmly welcome enthusiasts from all walks of life to join us in telling the stories of our rich history.

We are open!
We are now open for registration and the 2026 Information Morning dates have been set. Please note that registration will be closed once capacity for each session is reached.

  10. 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!
