The Museu Nacional do Azulejo wellcomes all who wish to collaborate voluntarily with the museum in the preservation and research of tiles and ceramics.

Being a volunteer in the museums and palaces of the national Institute of Museums and Conservation is an excellent opportunity to participate in the safekeeping of the national cultural heritage, in the acquisition of professional skills, in the construction of privileged opportunities for learning, and in the development of communication skills with the direct contact of cultural agents. These opportunities, together with social and cultural events, provide volunteers with the chance of getting to know, from inside, the cultural world. Being a volunteer is an opportunity to belong to a lively, creative and active community.   Institute of Museums and Conservation
