Avoncroft Museum in Bromsgrove is England's first open air museum, and currently home to over 30 different buildings and structures which have been rescued and re-built in rural Worcestershire. The site has two full-time senior jobs currently available.
Head of Collections and Interpretation
Reporting to the Museum’s Director, this new post will be responsible for the Museum’s future acquisitions, historic collections and interpretation. Our primary collection is unusual – we move entire buildings – while our other collections support this through archive and library material and smaller objects, which help illustrate the life and built heritage of the Midlands. Our interpretation is through costumed enactment and volunteer guides, as well as demonstrations, written word and audio visual displays.
